Blackberry Thyme Danish

Updated: Oct 30, 2020


I’m not much of a sweet tooth but Dayne craves a good pastry occasionally and this blackberry lemon and thyme combination hit the spot and just screams summertime! It is creamy, buttery, flaky, and just the right amount of sweet.

I’ve recently been experimenting with puff pastry and this is one of my favorite recipes with it so far. It blows my mind how convenient it is to use, very quickly turning into such a buttery and delicate pastry without much effort.
