Print Recipe

These Wild Blueberry Coffee Cake Danishes combine flaky puff pastry, sweet-tart blueberry filling, and a crumbly cinnamon topping for the ultimate brunch treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150 g) wild blueberries
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for blueberry filling)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar (for cream cheese filling)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (65 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar (for crumb topping)
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp (45 g) cold unsalted butter
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
  3. In a saucepan, combine wild blueberries, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
  4. In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cinnamon, and cold butter. Use your fingers or a food processor to mix until crumbly.
  5. Roll out the puff pastry slightly and cut it into 6 equal squares.
  6. Spoon a dollop of cream cheese filling onto each square, followed by a spoonful of blueberry mixture. Fold the corners of the pastry toward the center and press gently to seal.
  7. Sprinkle a generous amount of crumb topping over each Danish.
  8. Beat the egg with milk and brush the edges of the pastry for a golden finish.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
  10. Let the Danishes cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Notes

Keep the puff pastry cold while working with it to ensure the best texture. If the crumb topping browns too quickly, cover the Danishes loosely with foil during the last few minutes of baking.
