Instructions
- SET your oven to 400°F and prepare two baking trays by covering them with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- EXTEND each thawed piece of puff pastry into two rectangles measuring 9×12 inches. Divide each pastry sheet by cutting once along the length and twice across the width to create 6 smaller rectangles.

- In a mixing bowl, BLEND the cream cheese, vanilla extract, and sugar until it becomes smooth. Put this mixture aside.
- ARRANGE 6 rectangles of puff pastry on each baking tray. Poke each rectangle several times with a fork.
- SPOON a portion of the cream cheese mixture onto each pastry rectangle. Add a spoonful of the pumpkin mixture on top, and use a toothpick to create a swirl.
- MIX the egg with water in a separate bowl and APPLY this mixture to the edges of each Danish using a brush.
- COOK in the oven for 20 minutes until they achieve a golden hue.
- OPTIONALLY, POUR a glaze made from powdered sugar over the top before serving.
Notes
- Divide the puff pastry into smaller rectangles for individual servings.
- Create a decorative swirl with the cream cheese and pumpkin mixture using a toothpick.
