Brown Sugar Cheese Danish

A few weeks ago I shared with you this Brown Sugar Cinnamon Fruit Dip. It's amazing. I can eat it with a spoon. I make the kids use fruit when they want to dig in, but me, I'm mom, I can use anything I want to get some of this stuff. You know how it gets, you can only eat so much of a good thing and then...enough. Around the fourth batch, the kids, well, they'd had enough. And I'd just made a new batch, for them!

I love Puff Pastry. So easy to use, makes simple recipes seem fancy. I always have a box or 3 in my freezer. Kinda like butter, I don't like to be without it. Perfect for a quick, looks like I slaved over it, made from scratch (we know I didn't but don't tell) treat. Sweet or savory, it's always able to deliver.

This recipe is so simple I hate to call it a whole post. But it's too good not to share. My kids wanted to know what the occasion was for having these. I told them just because I thought they were worth it. And by the way, would you mind picking up your rooms before dinner?

I loved having their rooms all picked up without having to nag.

Brown Sugar Cheese Danish

1 sheet frozen puffed pastry
1 batch Brown Sugar Cinnamon Fruit Dip
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk or cream

Defrost puffed pastry on a lightly floured cutting board. Once thawed, gently roll with a rolling pin, just to stretch dough a bit. Cut dough into 6 squares. Transfer squares to parchment lined baking sheet. Spread fruit dip down the middle of your pastry, between opposite corners.

Fold empty, naked, the corners that don't have spread on them, into the center, just overlapping. Use just a dab of water to "glue" the corners together. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.

Combine powdered sugar and milk/cream, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over pastries. Serve warm. Store in air tight container in the refrigerator.

I'm sharing at some of these great parties.
