Big jam danish

Why fold, shape and twist dozens of little pastry squares when you can make a big Danish for an equally impressive dessert, without the fuss? With only six ingredients, this recipe promises a delicate, showstopping centerpiece: an oversized jam and cheese Danish to slice, serve and enjoy with your guests. A sheet of store-bought puff pastry is scored, poked, baked and flattened, creating a blank canvas for the Danish. The partially baked puff pastry gets filled with a custardy, lemony cream cheese mixture and small dollops of homemade or store-bought jam and then baked until golden. Serve warm, or cool the pastry to room temperature and enjoy each bite.
