0 likes 0 reviews 1 view

Custard Danish is a delicious bakery-style pastry made with flaky, buttery Danish dough and a smooth, creamy vanilla custard filling. The golden pastry layers become crisp on the outside while remaining tender inside, creating a wonderful contrast with the rich and silky custard.

The pastry is shaped into individual portions, filled with homemade custard, and baked until beautifully golden. A light dusting of powdered sugar adds a simple finishing touch.

Perfect for breakfast, brunch, afternoon tea, or dessert, Custard Danish is an elegant homemade pastry that pairs wonderfully with coffee or tea.
