Ingredients

Puff pastry

1 sheet, thawed

Cream cheese

8 ounces, softened

Granulated sugar

1/4 cup

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Crushed pineapple

1 cup, drained

Powdered sugar

for dusting

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet into a 12x12-inch square.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix with a hand mixer or spatula until smooth and creamy.
4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
5. Sprinkle the drained crushed pineapple evenly over the cream cheese mixture.
6. Fold the edges of the puff pastry inward to create a border, pressing gently to seal and prevent the filling from spilling out.
7. Transfer the danish to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar.
9. Slice into squares and serve warm, enjoying the luscious combination of flavors.
