Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold unsalted butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream cheese until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and whisk until combined.
4
Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the center of the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
5
Fold the edges of the pastry up over the cream cheese mixture to form a border. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg for a golden glaze.
6
Bake the Danish for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese filling is set.
7
Remove the Danish from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Drizzle with the melted chocolate and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
