Blueberry Danish

3/4 c Cottage cheese
1/3 c Sugar
1/3 c Low-fat milk
1/4 c Canola oil
1 ts Vanilla
2 c Flour
2 ts Baking powder
4 oz Low-fat cream cheese
1/4 c Sugar
1 Egg yolk
2 ts Lemon zest
1 ts Vanilla
1 c Blueberries

To make the dough, puree the cottage cheese in a food processor until smooth. Add the sugar, milk, canola oil, and vanilla. Blend well. Add the flour and baking powder and pulse until a ball of dough forms. Refrigerate dough in plastic until chilled. 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.
