What is the Cheese Danish at Starbucks?

The Starbucks Cheese Danish is one of my favorite things to eat with coffee or tea, especially for breakfast or a quick snack. It’s a flaky, soft pastry made with enriched wheat flour, butter, and eggs, with a crisp outer layer and a light, airy texture that tastes like a sweet croissant.

The best part is the creamy filling in the center, made from Neufchâtel cheese, which gives it a rich, slightly tangy flavor. It has just the right amount of sugar, sea salt, and dry whole milk that enhances the taste and makes it perfectly balanced.

The layers of dough are made with yeast, a bit of sourdough, and help from dough conditioners, gluten, and xanthan gum, so every bite has a smooth combination and a melt-in-your-mouth feel. When it’s warmed, the flavors shine and it becomes a truly satisfying, buttery, indulgent treat.
