Sweet & Creamy Strawberry Cream Cheese Danish
A Celebration of Fresh Strawberries and Cream Cheese
Strawberries, when in season, are some of the most juicy and delicious fruits out there. We love going to pick strawberries and then deciding which strawberry recipes we are going to try. While we have some old standbys that we love, we are always on the lookout for new things to do with our strawberries. Are you looking for a new dessert or even a new snack or a new strawberry recipe? In today’s world, some snacks have become plain and mundane. Desserts have become the same day in and day out or just skipped completely. Except when I use puff pastry. We hope that this Strawberry Cream Cheese Danish post inspires you.
