Traditionally danishes are made with puff pastry, but Entenmann’s dough deviates from the norm. Instead of puff pastry with its flaky croissant-like texture, they use an enriched dough more akin to brioche.
The cheese in a Starbucks Danish is Neufchatel, a soft cheese that can be used interchangeably with cream cheese, but is lower in fat. It’s blended with sugar and egg to make the filling. In this Starbucks copycat recipe, you can use regular cream cheese or Neufchatel. (Look for it in the same dairy case as cream cheese.)
Entenmann’s Single Serve Cheese Danish are baked to perfection and individually wrapped for freshness and convenience. The sweet, cheese filling is enveloped by a butter, flaky dough that simply melts in your mouth. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, dessert, or anytime snack on-the-go!
Entenmann's was one of the first on the block to put irresistible, low-fat versions of its delicious baked goods in front of us at the supermarket. The company's specialty is its low-fat sweet cinnamon rolls that taste as good as any of the full-fat varieties produced by other popular brands. Source: Low-Fat Top Secret Recipes by Todd Wilbur.
