You can also enjoy them plain as a sweet croissant!&nbsp;To make cream cheese danish from scratch, you start with slightly-sweet yeast dough, then fold and roll it several times with cold butter.

You can also view all my bakery recipe videos and tips on the following channels:When it comes to cream cheese danish, one thing you want to ensure is that your cream cheese filling is very smooth without lumps. You can use room temperature cream cheese to help with this.&nbsp;&nbsp;Another option is to just beat the cream cheese on high within a stand mixer (scraping frequently) until no lumps remain. The stand mixer will make your life so much easier and save you time too!&nbsp;Be sure to pay attention to the temperature of each component of this Danish recipe (as described in the recipe instructions):&nbsp;Can I make these ahead of time?&nbsp;&nbsp; Yes, you can! I recommend freezing your unbaked filled danish (as soon as they have risen) so you can bake them hot and fresh the morning you want to serve them.&nbsp; Thaw the danish pastries in the refrigerator overnight before baking.&nbsp; How long do they last?&nbsp;&nbsp; In the fridge, these cream cheese danish will last for about 2-3 days, though they have the softest texture the day you bake them. Or freeze them for longer as described below.&nbsp; Can I freeze them?&nbsp;&nbsp; Yes, you can! Make sure to wrap the danish thoroughly in plastic wrap or place them in a freezer-safe bag. When you're ready to eat them, just thaw them overnight in the fridge and reheat them in a 300-degree oven.&nbsp; Can I make different danish shapes with this recipe?&nbsp; Sure!&nbsp; I love the look of the homemade croissant-shaped danish which holds extra cream cheese filling, but feel free to try out different danish pastry shapes.&nbsp; What is in the filling for cheese danish?&nbsp; The filling is made of cream cheese, sugar, and almond extract for my recipe.&nbsp; You can also make a blueberry cream cheese danish by adding blueberry compote filling, or cherry cheese danish with cherry filling.&nbsp; Is Danish dough the same as puff pastry?&nbsp; No, they are not the same. Danish dough is made with yeast, egg, and (more) butter, while puff pastry is made mostly of flour, water, and (less) butter.&nbsp; Danish typically have a softer and fluffier texture, while puff pastries are more crisp and flaky.&nbsp; Can I use a different filling? Sure!
