Roasted strawberry Danish recipe for a delightful treat

Ingredients for Roasted strawberry Danish

• 300 g fresh strawberries, hulled, halved

• 90 g caster sugar

• 90 g plain flour

• 1 g kosher salt

• 60 g cold unsalted butter, cut into very small pieces

• 150 g cream cheese, softened slightly

• 5 ml fresh lemon juice

• 30 g icing sugar, plus extra for dusting (optional)

• 2 English muffins, halved, toasted

How to make Roasted strawberry Danish

1. Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 175°C. Line a rimmed baking tray with baking parchment and set aside.

2. Toss the strawberries with 30 g of sugar in a medium bowl. Turn the strawberries out onto the prepared baking tray, ensuring they are all cut side up. Roast for about 20 minutes, or until they are soft and juicy. Remove from the oven and return the strawberries to the bowl. Discard the baking parchment and set the tray aside.

3. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, remaining 45 g of sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the pieces of butter and use your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles sandy streusel with some chunky pea-sized pieces.

4. In a separate medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese and lemon juice. Sift the icing sugar into the cream cheese using a sieve, then stir until smooth.

5. Reduce the oven temperature to 160°C.

6. Divide the cream cheese mixture among the toasted English muffin halves, spreading it evenly. Create a well in the centre of the cream cheese mixture and add some strawberries, then sprinkle the streusel around the edges of the cream cheese-topped muffin halves.

7. Return the baking tray to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the streusel is golden. Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving. Dust with additional icing sugar, if desired.
