Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface until thin.

Cut the pastry into squares or rectangles.

Mix cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest in a bowl until smooth.

Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square.

Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a pocket.

Beat an egg and brush it over the pastry for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Top each Danish with fresh fruit of your choice.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
