• In a small bowl, mix together the strawberries and corn starch. Set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface roll out thawed puff pastry into a 12×9″ rectangle. Cut in half lengthwise, yielding 2 4-½" strips. Cut those two strips crosswise into thirds, to yield six 4×4 ½" pieces.With a knife, score ½" border around the edge of each piece of puff pastry. Use a fork to make five or six pricks into the dough within the border of each piece. This will help keep the middle of each piece from rising.
• In a bowl, stir together softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla and almond. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of mixture into the middle of each piece of dough and spread around evenly, ensuring the mix stays within the borders.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats.
• Unroll the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface and slice in half, lengthwise.
• Then, cut each strip in quarters so you have eight large rectangles.
• Repeat with the second sheet of pastry.
• Using a small paring knife, create a ½" border around the edge of the each piece of puff pastry, but make sure not to cut all the way through!
• Poke the center square of the puff pastry a few times with a fork-- this will ensure the edges rise, but not the center. This will help hold the filling in the Danish.
• In a small bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese, ¼ cup sugar, and vanilla.
• In another bowl, stir together the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, chopped strawberries, and lemon juice.
• Divide the cream cheese mixture between the pieces of puff pastry, making sure to only fill within the border.
• Then, spoon the strawberry mixture over the cream cheese.
• Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
• Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
