1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 ounces low fat cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg yolk

Directions

1

To make the dough, puree the cottage cheese in a food processor until smooth. Add the sugar, milk, canola oil, and vanilla. Blend well.
2

Add the flour and baking powder and pulse until a ball of dough forms. Refrigerate dough in plastic until chilled.
3

To make the filling, blend the cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer. Add the egg yolk, lemon zest and vanilla. Stir well to combine. Roll the dough into a long rectangle. Spread the cream cheese mixture down the center. Sprinkle the blueberries over the cream cheese.

Make 3 inch cuts along each side of the dough, about 1 inch apart. Cross the strips to create a braiding effect across the center. Transfer the danish to a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
