To make this delicious Orange Cream Danish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the pastry crust:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold water

For the orange cream filling:

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 tbsp orange zest
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp salt
To make the pastry crust, combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the cold water and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a circle. Place the circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
To make the orange cream filling, combine the heavy cream, sugar, orange juice, orange zest, egg yolks, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let cool.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Remove the pastry circles from the refrigerator and spoon the orange cream filling onto the center of each circle. Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling, leaving the center exposed. Brush the edges of the pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
This Orange Cream Danish is a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors. The pastry crust is flaky and buttery, while the orange cream filling is creamy and bursting with orange flavor. This dish is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a dessert.
