Steps:
- Before beginning, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cream together softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, flour and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
- Unroll the crescent dough without separating any of the triangles. Keep the dough all in one piece! Place dough onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, then press together all the perforations in the dough with your fingers.
- Spoon the cream cheese filling down the center of the dough lengthwise. Spread the dough out so it is 2-3 inches wide in center of roll.
- Evenly sprinkle chopped chocolate on top of the cream cheese filling.
- Cut 1 inch strips of dough evenly on each side of the filling (at a slight angle toward the top).
- Starting at top, lift pieces of dough and pull up and over filling, alternating sides as you go, so that you end up with a somewhat "braided" pastry. (Left side strip, Right side strip, etc.). Tuck any leftover pieces of dough into the ends.
- Beat an egg yolk in a small dish. Using a pastry brush, gently "paint" the yolk over the surface of the pastry until covered. Place pastry in a preheated 375 degree oven; bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown in color. Remove pastry (keeping the parchment paper underneath) to a wire rack. Let cool completely.
- Mix together glaze ingredients until smooth. Once pastry is completely cool, decoratively drizzle glaze over surface of pastry. Let glaze firm up, then cut into slices, serve and enjoy!

CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE DANISH
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, flour and vanilla. Set aside.
- Pop open crescent roll dough and unroll, leaving crescents in rectangles. On a piece of parchment paper {or an ungreased baking sheet}, unroll crescent dough being sure to not separate any of the triangular pieces. Press edges together and pinch any holes back together. Dough should be almost the entire length of a half sheet pan.
- Carefully spread cream cheese filling down the center of the dough to be about 2-3 inches wide. Sprinkle cream cheese filling with chopped chocolate. Cut 1 inch diagonal strips up each side of the dough. Fold slats of dough up over filling alternating sides to get a braided pattern. You may have excess dough once you reach the end of the danish, so fold them in as best as you can. Bake for 20 minutes or until filling is set and crescent dough is golden in color. Cool before removing from baking sheet.
- Once danish has cooled, remove to serving platter. In a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar, vanilla and cream to create icing. You may need to add more cream to get the desired consistency. Drizzle icing over danish.
- Cut into pieces and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Place the cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and cream them together on low speed until smooth. With the mixer still on low, add the egg yolks, ricotta, vanilla, salt, and lemon zest and mix until just combined. Don't whip!
- Unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured board and roll it slightly with a floured rolling pin until it's a 10 by 10-inch square. Cut the sheet into quarters with a sharp knife. Place a heaping tablespoon of cheese filling into the middle of each of the 4 squares. Brush the border of each pastry with egg wash and fold 2 opposite corners to the center, brushing and overlapping the corners of each pastry so they firmly stick together. Brush the top of the pastries with egg wash. Place the pastries on the prepared sheet pan. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry and refrigerate the filled Danish for 15 minutes.
- Bake the pastries for about 20 minutes, rotating the pan once during baking, until puffed and brown. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Place frozen puff pastry on the counter for 30 minutes to thaw.
- While you wait for the pastry to thaw, make the chocolate ganache. Pour chocolate chips in a bowl. Heat heavy cream in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Heat until steaming. Pour hot cream over chocolate chips.
- Let sit for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Stir gently until smooth. If any chocolate chunks remain, heat in the microwave for 15 second intervals. Stir well in between. Let sit for 2 hours at room temperature until "pudding like" in texture.
- In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese using a hand mixer. Beat on high for 1 minute. Add in sugar and beat again for 1 minute. Mix in vanilla.
- Place frozen pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Use your fingers to push the seams together. Use a sharp knife and cut pastry into thirds. Cut along the seams for 3 long rectangles.
- Cut each rectangle in half to get 6 rectangles. Repeat with the other sheet. Mix the egg and water together. Use a pastry brush and spread the egg wash around the edge of each rectangle.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Place the rectangles on the cookie sheet. 6 per sheet. For each rectangle, use a sharp knife and cut another rectangle shape along each rectangle of pastry leaving a 1/2 inch edge. Don't cut all the way down. This gives the pastry the ability to rise around the filling.
- Spoon 1 TBSP of filling on each square. Spread the filling inside each "box".
- Place 1 sheet in the fridge and 1 in the freezer. Let the sheet in the freezer sit for 5 minutes before baking. This gets the butter in the pastry cold again.
- Bake 1 sheet at a time. Bake for 17-20 minutes. Bake until the pastry is golden brown. Let cool completely and then bake the next sheet.
- Spoon chocolate on top of the cream cheese filling once pastry is cool. Make sure some of the cream cheese is showing around the edges of the chocolate.
