Prune Danish? with Orange Cream

I had to bring a dessert for the same aforementioned book club
so I made this simple prune danish type thing, but you could make
this with any dried fruit you like

I took a puff pastry out to thaw...and yes, I used a premade
frozen variety.

I put some prunes into a sauce pan with a sprinkling of sugar
and orange juice. I reduced it down to a spreadable fruit filling.
Then I filled half of the pastry, folded it over, sealed it, egg
washed it and baked it to a golden brown.

I topped it with a orange cream mixture which is so yummy that people
will be begging you to bring it to every event. Just don't tell
them how easy it is, and you will be the reigning champ for years
to come. I've made this in several flavors; chocolate, lime, lemon,
orange....and I'm sure you can come up with more. It is great on
pastries of all kinds , in between cake layers, as a fruit dip...
and just to eat plain.

Take some room temp cream cheese, nufschatel or marscapone and beat
until smooth. Add your flavoring(zest, nesquick, liquor) and a little
sugar and beat some more. Also, beat some heavy whipping cream
in a cold bowl till it is fluffy. Fold it all together. Yummy!!
You adjust the sugar accordingly-

Have fun at all your summer cookouts with the special cream and a danish
or two!
