This flaky and buttery cream cheese puff pastry tart is an easy breakfast recipe! Talk about buttery pastry dough! Quick and easy cream cheese danishes are filled with fresh peaches and blueberries! You can make this puff pastry recipe into golden, flaky tartlets or rich and creamy danishes! Either way, these peach cream cheese tartlets are elegant and effortless!Easy Cream Cheese Puff Pastry with Peaches and Blueberries

Just like my homemade Instant Pot Apple Cake, this recipe is a staple!  It’s so perfect served warm out of the oven with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.  I always have everything on hand to make these cream cheese tartlets, including frozen puffpastries.  It’s a quick and easy breakfast that’s great for last-minute thing, or if you’re just craving something sweet!  Feel free to use canned peaches for this recipe. While peach is my favorite, it’s great with apples as well.

What kind of puff pastry sheets to use for these cream cheese danishes

  • We are using frozen puff pastry sheets to make our cream cheese danishes.
  • First of all, make sure to thaw the pastry ahead of time. I used 14 oz pastry, but any size can be used. It depends on how large you want your Cream Cheese tartlets to be. Since you will be rolling the pastry sheets out on the baking sheet, this puff pastry recipe is very flexible size wise.
  • Next, roll out the pastry.
  • Then spread softened vanilla infused cream cheese over the entire surface.
  • Lastly, add peaches and blueberries. Now cover them with brown sugar and bake for 30 minutes. Done!

What ingredients do we need to make rich and creamy danishes?

  • The ingredient list for these flaky danishes with golden crust is short! As a matter of fact, it will probably be the least complex breakfast pastry you’ll ever make. These are not croissants, after all! Not complicated at all!
  • All you need to make the cream cheese danishes are peaches and blueberries.
  • Then don’t forget about sugar! Both brown and confectionery. You will also need cream cheese and vanilla extract.
  • And of course frozen puff pastry!

By the way, this peach cream cheese puff pastry recipe is also quite low on sugar. Therefore if you are looking for a healthier breakfast, this is it. Or, if you enjoy desserts that are nevertheless sweet, peaches and blueberries with just a bit of sugar will fit that bill.

  • First things first, thaw your frozen puff pastry.
  • Secondly, you will preheat your oven to 400 F.
  • Thirdly, prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Once lined, you will unfold defrosted puff pastry on top of the parchment paper.

  • Next you will soften cream cheese in the microwave.

    How to soften cream cheese

    In order to soften 8-ounce block of cream cheese, place the completely unwrapped cheese on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave it on high for 15 seconds.

    Next add 3 tablespoons of powdered confectionery sugar and mix well. Now add 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Spread cream cheese mixture over the pastry with a spatula. I left 1 inch edge of the rectangle untouched. Then mix it with powdered sugar.

  • After softening the cream cheese, you will spread it over the pastry.  No cutting required yet!

  • First, halve peaches, remove pits and slice them. I sliced the peaches into 1/4 inch thick slices. Or, as thin as you can do it without cutting your fingers. Next arrange peach slices in 4 rows. If your pastry is longer than mine you can add another row. Or, cut the extra dough off.
  • Secondly, add blueberries between each of the peach row. Or improvise! Fold the sides of the rectangle to form a thicker border. Alternatively you can also score the dough with a knife to keep 1 inch border. I folded the sides because I like my crust around the pie to be thick.
  • Finally, you will toss fresh peach slices and blueberries on top.

  • Once you’ve done that, sprinkle them with brown sugar.
  • Cover the peaches with as much or as little brown sugar as you like. I added 2 tablespoons.

  • Lastly, move it to the oven. Bake the cream cheese puff pastry for 30 minutes at 400 F.
  • While the Peach Cream Cheese Pastry is baking, have a cup of coffee or tea.
  • Once you take it out of the oven and cool it, sprinkle with confectionery sugar.

Optimal oven temperature to bake puff pastry

I find that 400 degrees and 30 minutes is the optimal temperature and time. At least for my oven. When you bake puff pastries at lower temperatures, such as 350ºF, they fall short when compared to those baked at 400ºF. That happens because at higher temperatures steam is released quickly between the layers, allowing for more expansion and height.

If the pastry is puffing up during baking, use a fork or a knife to gently release the trapped air. Look for trapped air pockets.

It’s ready when the color is nice and gold around the edges. Now remove the pastry from oven. I like to cool for 5-10 minutes. Then cut it into danish sized tarts.

Lastly, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Sifter will do a great job here!

If you enjoy baking with fruit, I have amazing recipes on this site that use plenty fruit:

  • Tarte Tatin with Brandy Caramelized Apples

    Trying this recipe today, I want to make ahead, would I need to refrigerate after baking if not serving for 5-6 hours?

        Wondering if you sliced the peaches before freezing, as using thinly sliced peaches are used in this recipe. Good to know that frozen fruit is doable. Thank you,

      I don’t think there is an egg in this recipe. You may have looked at a different recipe but left a comment on this one.

    So what do I do with leftover peaches and leftover puff pastry? I go searching on the internet and find this fantastic recipe. I didn’t have any blueberries so I only used the peaches. I only used 4 oz of cream cheese with half a teaspoon of almond extract. I liked the idea of using the cream cheese to prevent the peaches from making the pastry soggy. Thanks for a terrific recipe, my wife loved it.

    Kind of disappointed. Took 45 minutes, not 30 to prevent a soggy bottom. Too much cream cheese, I think, for the size sheet–I’m not sure but what the pastry should’ve been rolled out to a specific (and probably larger) size, which is not indicated here. Not a lot of puff, I think because of so much cheese.

      That’s disappointing. I really loved mine – I used Dufour classic puff pastry and it came out so perfect. I always use Dufour because their frozen puff pastry uses fresh ingredients, including butter, which is one of the key ingredients in puff pastry.

      As I did, you might want to check the true temperature of your oven. Many oven claim to have hit the pre-heated goal when, often, they are not quite there yet. I now use an external thermometer. It just takes longer to pre-heat these ovens.

    I made this exact pastry, but used blackberries instead of blueberries. It was so good
