    Tips for Flaky, Bakery-Style Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Make sure your puff pastry is cold when it goes into the oven for the best puff. Don\u2019t overload the center or it may spill out\u2014less is more. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and browning too quickly. For a more luxurious finish, top with fresh raspberries or a sprinkle of powdered sugar before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Variations and Add-Ons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Swap raspberry jam for strawberry, blackberry, or cherry. Add a touch of lemon zest to the cream cheese for extra brightness. Top with crushed almonds or sliced pistachios after baking for crunch. Use honey or maple syrup in place of the glaze for a natural finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Store cooled danishes in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerate for up to 3. Reheat in the oven at 300\u00b0F for 5\u20137 minutes to revive the crispness. Danishes can also be frozen before or after baking and reheated as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
