Notes

Optional: Dust with powdered sugar for extra sweetness just before serving. Ensure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to achieve a smooth filling. Avoid overfilling the pastry squares to prevent spillage during baking. Reheat thawed danishes in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes for best results.
