Honey Cinnamon Fig Puff Pastry Danishes
These Honey Cinnamon Fig Puff Pastry Danishes are the kind of treat that looks like it came straight from a bakery but couldn't be easier to make at home. Buttery, flaky puff pastry is filled with a creamy cinnamon cream cheese filling and baked until perfectly golden. Once cooled, each Danish is topped with fresh figs and finished with a sweet honey drizzle for the perfect combination of creamy, flaky, and fruity in every bite. They're perfect for a cozy breakfast, weekend brunch, or whenever fresh figs are in season.

Instructions
Directions:
-
1. Combine all filling ingredients together until smooth. Place in a piping bag and set to the side.
-
2. Cut puff pastry dough into 9 squares. Cut 4 slits ½ an inch from the edge of the dough, ensuring that two opposite corners are fully cut, while the other two are still connected.
-
3. Brush the edges with egg wash, and gently cross the dough over itself. Place them onto a sheet tray lined with parchment paper and brush the whole pastry with egg wash.
-
4. Pipe the filling inside of the pastry and bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes.
-
5. In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, honey, and milk until evenly combined.
-
6. Top cooled pastries with fig slices, drizzle with icing, and sprinkle with cinnamon.
-
Note: You can alternatively cut the dough by folding the square in half (like a triangle) and cutting ½ an inch into the edges
