How to Make Blackberry Cheesecake Danish Lime

Prepare Your Oven and Puff Pastry Base: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out thawed puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface until thin yet sturdy enough to hold the filling.

Create the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, blend cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, eggs, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. You want it silky—no lumps allowed!

Add Blackberries to the Mixture: Gently fold in fresh blackberries with care; you want them intact for bursts of flavor in every bite. Don’t go overboard on mixing here; we want whole berries!

Assemble Your Danish Delight: Pour cheesecake filling into the center of your puff pastry base. Fold edges over slightly—think of it like giving your cheesecake a cozy blanket.

Bake Until Golden Brown: Place in preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and set. The aroma will fill your kitchen as it bakes—it’s pure bliss.

Cool and Serve with Flair!: Allow cooling completely before slicing. Garnish with additional blackberries or whipped cream if you’re feeling fancy. Serve chilled for that refreshing zing on your palate.

Now that you’ve made this delightful Blackberry Cheesecake Danish Lime, sit back and watch as everyone enjoys each heavenly bite!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by preparing the cream cheese filling while the pastry chills. Once rolled out, layer on the filling, add blackberries, and fold. Bake until golden brown for a crispy texture.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap out blackberries for your favorite berry or use lemon zest instead of lime for a different flavor profile. You can also sprinkle some nuts for added crunch.

Storing & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, pop them in a warm oven for about 10 minutes to regain that crispiness.

Creating this Blackberry Cheesecake Danish Lime has become a cherished family tradition, with everyone eagerly awaiting my ‘Danish Day’ each spring when blackberries are ripe and ready.
