Notes

Recipe Variations: This raspberry danish recipe would be delicious with apples, blueberries, peaches, or even a mix of berries. You can get creative with this recipe!
Glaze Variations: Beyond powdered sugar glaze, try drizzling with melted white chocolate or a simple vanilla icing. A light dusting of cinnamon sugar while still warm creates a different but equally delicious finish. 
Texture Enhancements:Sprinkle chopped toasted almonds or pecans over the cream cheese layer for added crunch. A pinch of cardamom or cinnamon in the cream cheese mixture introduces warm spice notes. Lemon zest can substitute for orange zest if preferred.
Storage: Store these danishes covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate them for up to 5 days for longer freshness.
