- 20 minutes to make

I've seen the episode when Ina makes these several times and finally tried them myself...I added some blackberry preserves to a couple and they were wonderful...recipe from Food Network
Ingredients
- 8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature shopping list
- 1/3 cup sugar shopping list
- 2 extra-large egg yolks, at room temperature shopping list
- 2 tablespoons ricotta cheese shopping list
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt shopping list
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (2 lemons) shopping list
- 2 sheets (1 box) frozen puff pastry, defrosted shopping list
- 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 400
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper
- Place the cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and cream them together on low speed until smooth
- With the mixer still on low, add the egg yolks, ricotta, vanilla, salt, and lemon zest and mix until just combined. Don't whip!
- Unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured board and roll it slightly with a floured rolling pin until it's a 10 by 10-inch square
- Cut the sheet into quarters with a sharp knife
- Place a heaping tablespoon of cheese filling into the middle of each of the 4 squares
- Brush the border of each pastry with egg wash and fold 2 opposite corners to the center, brushing and overlapping the corners of each pastry so they firmly stick together
- Brush the top of the pastries with egg wash
- Place the pastries on the prepared sheet pan
- Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry and refrigerate the filled Danish for 15 minutes
- Bake the pastries for about 20 minutes, rotating the pan once during baking, until puffed and brown
