McDonald’s Cheese Danish encompasses a pastry with candy cream cheese filling, topped with buttery streusel and a drizzle of vanilla icing.
I obtained one for $2.59.
The pastry itself provided much less of a flaky texture and extra of a shortbread biscuit-type of dough. It was barely candy, mushy, and considerably denser than I discover is typical of a Danish pastry.
Whereas the pastry sported some good browning, there was no crispiness to the crust.
The cream cheese got here in a thick dollop within the middle and was good for a candy and creamy taste and a barely goopy really feel.
The streusel was just like what I usually see on espresso cake, which is to say it is sugar and perhaps flour clumped up with fats. It provided a crumbly texture and a few sweetness however not a lot in the best way of buttery richness.
The vanilla icing drizzle was one of many elements that was noticeable in each chunk (the opposite being the pastry crust) and gave the Cheese Danish a light vanilla high quality and a light-weight sweetness all through.
Total, McDonald’s Cheese Danish turned out tasty sufficient however by way of high quality and texture, I am unconvinced it is higher than one thing comparable you will get for much less at a grocery store bakery and even from heating up a packaged Danish pastry. Nonetheless, the entire level of the McCafe Bakery line appears to be to spur an impulse purchase, when you’re getting your morning espresso.
