Ingredients
1 sheet puff pastry
4 tablespoons raspberry jam
1 egg
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. On a floured surface, unfold and gently roll the thawed puff pastry to smooth out creases.
3. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out heart shapes, re-rolling scraps as needed.
4. Place half the heart cutouts on the baking sheet and add 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam in the center of each.
5. Brush edges with beaten egg, place a second heart on top, press edges, and crimp with a fork.
6. Brush tops with more egg wash and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until golden and puffed.
7. Let danishes cool on a wire rack.
8. Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to create the glaze.
9. Drizzle glaze over cooled danishes and let set before serving.
Notes
Use a thick raspberry jam to prevent leakage while baking.
Do not overfill the centers or the filling may spill out.
Make sure the puff pastry is cold but thawed for best results.
