Our Disclaimer (The serious stuff)

By using our free meal planner (and the rest of spoonacular.com) you have to agree that you and only you are responsible for anything that happens to you because of something you have read on this site or have bought/cooked/eaten because of this site. After all, the only person who controls what you put in your mouth is you, right?

Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research. If you need help planning your diet or determining which foods (and recipes) are safe for you, contact a registered dietitian, allergist, or another medical professional.

Instructions

  1. Method:
  2. Thaw puff pastry according to packet instructions. Once thawed, place pastry in the fridge to keep cool while you prepare the other ingredients.
  3. Place the berries in a saucepan over a medium-low heat. Sprinkle on castor sugar and add water. Cover saucepan with a lid and shake the saucepan around to coat the berries. Poach berries for about 5 minutes or until they soften but still retain their shape. Set aside to cool.
  4. Pre-heat the oven to 180C (350F).
  5. Make the ricotta filling by combining all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix well with a wooden spoon to thoroughly combine. Set aside.
  6. Prepare the glaze by mixing icing sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  7. Remove the pastry from the refrigerator and place sheets on a clean, dry surface. Use a small, sharp knife to cut 10 8cm x 6cm (3" x 2.5") rectangles. Place 5 of the pastry rectangles on the lined baking sheet, making sure there is space in between them as they will expand. Lightly brush edges with a little water. We will call these the "pastry rectangle bases".
  8. Cut smaller rectangles out of the remaining 5 pastry rectangles so that you have small frames of about 1.5cm (1/2") in width.

  10. Place the frames on top of the pastry bases on the baking sheet. See the diagram below.
  11. Danish2
  12. Fill the middle of the frame with about 3-4 tablespoons of ricotta mixture. Top with several berries (reserve some for topping once the danishes are baked). Repeat process with remaining pastry frames.
  13. Place in the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the pastry puffs up and is golden. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Top with remaining poached berries and sprinkle on a little icing sugar just before serving.
