Ingredients
  

For the Danish Dough:

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon active dry yeast

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup coconut cream (chilled)

¼ cup almond milk (warm)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Strawberry Filling:

2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and diced)

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Vegan Cream Cheese Glaze:

½ cup vegan cream cheese (softened)

½ cup powdered sugar

1 tablespoon almond milk

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Prepare the Danish Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, warm almond milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.

      Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Form a ball, place it in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

        Prepare the Strawberry Filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced strawberries, maple syrup, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the strawberries soften and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.

          Assemble the Danish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately ¼-inch thick. Cut the dough into 4 squares.

            Using a knife, score a smaller inner square on each piece, making sure not to cut all the way through. This will create a border for your filling. Add a spoonful of the strawberry filling inside each scored square.

              Carefully fold the corners of each square towards the center of the filling, pinching to seal.

                Bake: Place the assembled Danishes on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Allow cooling.

                  Prepare the Vegan Cream Cheese Glaze: In a mixing bowl, combine the vegan cream cheese, powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.

                    Glaze the Danishes: Once the Danishes have cooled, drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top.

                      Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your Vegan Strawberry Cream Danishes warm or at room temperature, perfect for breakfast or dessert!
