Lemon Blueberry Danish Recipe
The awesome thing about this recipe is that I add in cottage cheese! It’s a great way to add a bit of creaminess and the kids don’t even know it’s there! Make certain to lay the dough on a piece of parchment paper so that it doesn’t stick to the counter. I also line the baking sheet with parchment paper, too.
I also think that this is a great treat for breakfast but it’s also super fun to eat for brunch or as an after-dinner dessert. Why limit yourself on a baked recipe this good when you really don’t have to?
This simple danish recipe is a hit every time that I make it. My boys have a hard time waiting for it to cool slightly before tearing into that delicious cream cheese mixture! We make this all year round but especially love it when the blueberries are fresh and in season.
How long should you let the dough chill in the fridge before baking?
Once the dough is made, it needs to chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. This is an important step, so don’t skip or rush it.
It’s one of those things that people skip over, but trust me, don’t. It matters in the texture of the bread!

Do leftovers have to be kept in the fridge?
Due to the ingredients in this danish recipe, you need to store them in the fridge. Just add them to an airtight container with a lid to keep it fresh and flavorful.
You can eat it cold or pop it in the microwave for a few seconds of time to warm it back up. I’ve even been known to sprinkle on some extra powdered sugar to add some more sweetness!
The warm heat does a great job of making it soft again so do that if it’s dried out a bit. I also think that it’s super good at room temperature so you really can’t go wrong with however you want to eat!
