Print Recipe

A sweet, tangy, creamy, and slightly spicy Danish pastry featuring fresh mango, cream cheese, chamoy sauce, and a crunchy Tajín sugar crust. Perfect for brunch, parties, or a flavorful treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 large fresh mango, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (full-fat)
  • 2 tablespoons chamoy sauce
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons Tajín seasoning
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine 2 tablespoons Tajín seasoning with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon lime zest (if using) in a small bowl.
  4. Unfold the puff pastry sheets on a clean surface and cut each sheet into 6 equal squares (about 4×4 inches).
  5. Place about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese filling in the center of each square. Top with 3-4 thin slices of mango, gently pressing them into the cream cheese.
  6. Fold two opposite corners over the filling to make a diamond shape, pinching edges gently to seal but leaving some filling visible.
  7. Lightly brush the top and edges of each danish with beaten egg.
  8. Sprinkle the Tajín sugar crust evenly over each danish, pressing lightly so it sticks.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Watch closely during the last 5 minutes to avoid burning the sugar crust.
  10. Let the danishes rest on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep puff pastry cold until assembly to prevent stickiness. Chill cream cheese filling if too soft to avoid soggy pastry. Do not overload filling to prevent leaking. Adjust Tajín seasoning to taste. Can be air fried at 350°F for 12-15 minutes as an alternative cooking method. Store leftovers in airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
