Ingredients

• 2 C chopped strawberries
• 2 tbsp sugar
• ⅛ tsp nutmeg
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• ¼ C sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 sheet puff pastry, thawed
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp water

Directions

• Combine strawberries, sugar, and nutmeg in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and allow mixture to simmer for 25-35 minutes or until strawberries soften and mixture thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Beat together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• Place sheets of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut 6 strips lengthwise per sheet. Take each strip and gently twist. Take each twist and coil it into a spiral. Tuck the end piece under the spiral. Press down the center of the pastry leaving about ¼ inch all around on the sides. Score the pressed down center with a knife. Poke a few holes in the center with fork or knife. This will keep the center from rising too much. Place on prepared baking sheet.
• Fill each center with about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese filling. Top with a heaping teaspoon of strawberry filing.
• Whisk together egg and water. Brush edges of danish with egg wash.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm.
