I made this for dinner tonight and it was really good. I used fresh asparagus and would probably steam it before adding it next time. The flavor was wonderful!

Raspberry Cream Danish
Thanks to shortcuts like frozen puff pastry, we're able to make jaw-dropping pastries like our Raspberry Cream Danish. These are filled with a homemade cream cheese filling, which makes them extra-special. A raspberry in the center and a sprinkle of powdered sugar are the finishing touches to this bakery-style treat.
