Suggestions: will affect Nutritional information

  • Top your danish using different berries or fruit – strawberries, blueberries, apricot, raspberries, even kiwi or mango! Make sure to wash fruit before using.

  • Top your danish using fruit jam – mix jam in a bowl first prior to adding to pastry, so that you can easily spoon the jam onto each pastry. We recommend Truvia Strawberry Freezer Jam or other reduced sugar jam.

  • Drizzle your finished danishes with glaze, use the glaze recipe found in Truvia’s Glazed Lemon Bread Recipe

  • Add a tsp of Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose Sweetener to the egg whites.

  • Add a tsp of vanilla, rum or other extract to the cream cheese.
