Description

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.

Ingredients
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • Egg wash, as needed
  • Fresh fig slices, as needed

  • Pinch of salt
    • Icing:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tbs milk
