Ingredients

– 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
– 4 oz cream cheese, softened

– 2 tablespoons matcha powder
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 egg (for egg wash)
– 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
– Additional powdered sugar (for dusting)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Easy Irresistible Matcha Danishes:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into squares, about 4×4 inches each.
3. Make Filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, matcha powder, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
4. Fill Pastry: Place a spoonful of the matcha filling in the center of each puff pastry square.
5. Fold Pastry: Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling, creating a pocket. Pinch the edges to seal the pastry.
6. Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush the egg wash over the top of each Danish for a golden finish.
7. Bake: Place the Danishes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.
8. Cool: Remove the Danishes from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes.
9. Dust with Sugar: Before serving, dust the tops with additional powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
