Vegan Pumpkin Cream Cheese Danish
Hello & Happy Saturday!!
If there is one concept I’m forever enamored with, it’s vegan danishes! Since I discovered that ready made pastry dough is actually vegan, I’ve been on a mission to explore everything you can do with it and the options are endless! While I don’t push any store bought product as I make everything from scratch, I love the idea that I can go to the market and pick up a pack to create effortless sweets such as this Pumpkin cream Cheese Danish!
What’s fab about danishes, is that they sound fancy, look fancy, but are honestly one of the easiest concepts I can think of!

This recipe seems quick and easy for those days you have little time, but I too like to cook from search could you share how you would create this from sratch?
Hi Deb! I love to make everything from scratch, but making traditional pastry dough is long and drawn out as laminating the dough is time consuming. Readers typically gravitate towards easy, but I’m happy to look into homemade pastry dough. I believe you can find a standard recipe online and you would simply use vegan butter.
