How to Make Danish Cream Cheese Filling

  1. Beat 8 ounces (225g) of cream cheese in a mixing bowl until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add 1/2 cup (100g) of granulated sugar, beating until well combined and the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate small bowl, lightly whisk 1 large egg yolk. Gradually add the egg yolk to the cream cheese mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Cover the bowl and chill the filling in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to firm up slightly.
