Rhubarb Danish


Rhubarb Danish 

Laminated pastry (croissant dough 

Danish cheese: 
4 # cream cheese 
14 oz sugar 
2 oz butter 
4 oz flour 
4 eggs 
1/8 cup vanilla 
2 scraped vanilla beans 

Poached rhubarb: 
@ 6 pounds of rhubarb
32 oz orange mango juice 
32 oz water 
6 tea bags chamomile honey vanilla 
1/3 cup honey 
Salt 



Cream the cream cheese with everything but eggs & vanilla until lumpless! Then add eggs and vanilla & don't mix too long. 

Slice rhubarb to desired length. I did 2.5 inch diagonal slices. Combine all together in a metal bowl and put into oven. 
I did 300 for like 20-30 minutes.. Until soft but still crispy. 


Take out of oven and let sit for a couple hours before draining. 
Then cut out desired croissant shapes. 
Fill with some rhubarb and Danish cheese. (Both are easier to work with chilled for a few hours!) 


Bake and eat and enjoy!
