Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, vanilla, sugar and lemon juice.
Gently flour a clean work surface and unfold one of the puff pastry sheets. Using your fingertips, gently press the creased areas flat.
Use a cookie cutter or glass to cut out 4 circles. Repeat with the remaining sheet of puff pastry.
Place circles onto the baking sheet.
Gently score a circle about half an inch inside each puff pastry circle using a butter knife.
Using a fork, poke several times inside each of the inner circles.
Spread cream cheese mixture into each circle, keeping inside the border.
In a small bowl, mix together egg and water until frothy. Brush the border of each with egg mixture.
Bake for 18-21 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes on baking sheet.
Heat lemon curd in the microwave for 25 seconds, then spoon on top of each danish.
Sprinkle a pinch of lemon zest and dust with powdered sugar prior to serving.
