Using an electric mixer, beat everything together until smooth.

Fill a piping bag with the cream cheese mixture and cut the tip off the piping bag around 2 cm.

Place a sheet of puff pastry on a cutting board and cut it into six equal rectangles.

Using a small knife, score a smaller rectangle into each puff pastry piece without cutting all the way through.

Repeat this process with the other puff pastry pieces.

Place the scored puff pastry on a lined baking sheet.

Pipe the cream cheese filling into the center of each puff pastry piece.

In a bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water to make the egg wash.

Dip a brush in the egg wash and brush the edges of the puff pastry.

Place the cheese danishes in the oven at 400°F for 15 to 16 minutes.

Once they have finished baking, let them cool down on a cooling rack.
