  • 1 package (8 ounces cream cheese, softened)<\/li>
  • 1\/4 cup granulated sugar<\/li>

    **Pumpkin Filling:**<\/h4>

    • 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk<\/li><\/ul>

      **Egg Wash:**<\/h4>
      • 1 large egg<\/li>
      • 1 tablespoon whole milk<\/li><\/ul>

        **Icing:**<\/h4>
        • 1 cup powdered sugar<\/li>
        • 3 to 4 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream<\/li>
        • 1\/2 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li><\/ul>

          **Other:**<\/h4>
          • 2 sheets puff pastry<\/li>
          • Granulated sugar<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t
            \n\t\t

            **Making the Fillings:**<\/h4>
            1. – In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until smooth.<\/li>
            2. – In another bowl, combine pumpkin puree, light brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, egg, and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk until smooth.<\/li><\/ol>

              **Preparing the Egg Wash:**<\/h4>
              1. – Whisk together egg and milk. Set aside.<\/li><\/ol>

                **Making the Danishes:**<\/h4>
                1. – Preheat your oven to 400\u00b0F.<\/li>
                2. – Roll out puff pastry sheets and cut each into 8 rectangles.<\/li>
                3. – Using a knife, make an indentation slightly smaller than the rectangle’s edges but don’t cut all the way through. This helps the pastry rise.<\/li>
                4. – Brush the edges of each danish with the egg wash.<\/li>
                5. – Spread cheese filling in the center, leaving space at the edges.<\/li>

                8. – Bake for 14 to 16 minutes until golden brown.<\/li>
                9. – While it bakes, mix powdered sugar, milk or cream, and vanilla extract for the icing.<\/li>
                10. – Allow the danishes to cool for 15 minutes, then drizzle icing on top if desired.<\/li><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\t
                  \n\t\t
