Calories in a Danish, Puff Pastry and Cheesecake

By NYUS Inc. · Published 28 October 2026

A Danish pastry, a puff pastry shell and a slice of cheesecake each have a piece weight printed on their SR Legacy record page; the eclair record prints none. This guide gives twenty such records from the SR Legacy table of USDA FoodData Central: seven Danish pastry records (cheese, cinnamon, lemon, raspberry, fruit; enriched and unenriched), two frozen puff pastry records, four toaster pastry records and a breakfast tart, two cheesecake records, a cream puff and eclair record and a cream puff shell, an apple strudel and a guava pastry, with the weights printed on their record pages. IFCT 2017, the Indian Food Composition Tables from ICMR-NIN, has no pastry, Danish, cheesecake or eclair row, so this page uses SR Legacy only. Indian sweets are in our kaju katli, soan papdi and laddu guide and rasgulla and gulab jamun guide, and the fried snack in our samosa guide.

The short answer

By the SR Legacy records, 1 Danish pastry with cheese (71 g) is 265.5 kcal, 1 fruit Danish pastry, enriched (71 g) 263.4 kcal, 1 piece (80 g) of commercially prepared cheesecake 256.8 kcal and 1 piece (99 g) of no-bake cheesecake 271.3 kcal. Our reading: the printed size matters as much as the filling: a fruit Danish pastry record lists a small or frozen (35 g), a 4-1/4 inch (71 g) and a large (142 g) pastry, and the large one is 526.8 kcal.

SR Legacy: per 100 g

Every figure below is exactly as the record page shows it. The record names are the dataset's own.

SR Legacy: per printed portion

Each figure is our arithmetic on exact weights: kcal per 100 g times the grams, divided by 100, with the exact product in the sums line and the result shown to 0.1 with half rounding up. Every weight below is printed on the SR Legacy record page; none is ours. The records also print ounce weights and one portion labelled with a product name, which are not shown; the cream puff and eclair record (167534) prints only a 4 oz weight besides 100 g, so it appears per 100 g only. The 5 inch eclair weight (48 g) is printed on the separate record for the cream puff shell (174986), which is an unfilled shell, so it is not an eclair with filling.

The sums: 172754 374 × 71 / 100 = 265.54, so 265.5 kcal; 172753 403 × 142 / 100 = 572.26, so 572.3 kcal; 172753 403 × 65 / 100 = 261.95, so 262.0 kcal; 172753 403 × 35 / 100 = 141.05, so 141.1 kcal; 172753 403 × 53 / 100 = 213.59, so 213.6 kcal; 172824 403 × 65 / 100 = 261.95, so 262.0 kcal; 172824 403 × 35 / 100 = 141.05, so 141.1 kcal; 172824 403 × 142 / 100 = 572.26, so 572.3 kcal; 172824 403 × 53 / 100 = 213.59, so 213.6 kcal; 172827 371 × 71 / 100 = 263.41, so 263.4 kcal; 175061 371 × 71 / 100 = 263.41, so 263.4 kcal; 172825 371 × 71 / 100 = 263.41, so 263.4 kcal; 172825 371 × 35 / 100 = 129.85, so 129.9 kcal; 172825 371 × 53 / 100 = 196.63, so 196.6 kcal; 172825 371 × 142 / 100 = 526.82, so 526.8 kcal; 172755 371 × 53 / 100 = 196.63, so 196.6 kcal; 172755 371 × 71 / 100 = 263.41, so 263.4 kcal; 172755 371 × 142 / 100 = 526.82, so 526.8 kcal; 172755 371 × 35 / 100 = 129.85, so 129.9 kcal; 172790 551 × 47 / 100 = 258.97, so 259.0 kcal; 172738 558 × 40 / 100 = 223.2, so 223.2 kcal; 172738 558 × 245 / 100 = 1367.1, so 1367.1 kcal; 172801 370 × 51 / 100 = 188.7, so 188.7 kcal; 175035 388 × 54 / 100 = 209.52, so 209.5 kcal; 167927 385 × 53 / 100 = 204.05, so 204.1 kcal; 167928 409 × 51 / 100 = 208.59, so 208.6 kcal; 175069 372 × 52 / 100 = 193.44, so 193.4 kcal; 172711 321 × 80 / 100 = 256.8, so 256.8 kcal; 172711 321 × 125 / 100 = 401.25, so 401.3 kcal; 172712 274 × 99 / 100 = 271.26, so 271.3 kcal; 174986 360 × 66 / 100 = 237.6, so 237.6 kcal; 174986 360 × 48 / 100 = 172.8, so 172.8 kcal; 175032 274 × 71 / 100 = 194.54, so 194.5 kcal; 167528 379 × 86 / 100 = 325.94, so 325.9 kcal.

Why these are reference rows, not your bakery

• Names are the records'. No record name or portion label shown here carries a company name. "Enriched", "unenriched" and "toasted" are USDA's own words and are shown as printed; we do not say which a bakery matches.
• No row for khari, veg puff or a bakery patty. A search of the SR Legacy table on 28 Oct 2026 for khari, veg puff and vegetable puff returned no record, so the page gives no figure for them and none should be inferred from the puff pastry rows, which are frozen sheets and shells, not a baked puff with a filling.
• Every portion here is printed. No pastry, piece or shell weight on this page is ours: each is printed on its record page, and the only weight that is ours is the labelled 100 g example in the logging section.
• The records' own notes. The record pages mark the kcal energy of 18 of the 20 records "Calculated" and print other or no source labels for the other 2 (172753, 175069); they are USDA values, not our measurements.

How to log it so the numbers hold

• Weigh it when you can. 100 g of Danish pastry with cheese (our example weight, not a dataset value) on SR Legacy 172754 is 374 × 100 / 100 = 374, so 374.0 kcal.
• Pick the filling and the size the record prints. Cheese, cinnamon, lemon, raspberry and fruit are different rows, and small, standard and large are different weights.
• Cream and toppings are separate. Whipped cream, ice cream or sauce served with a pastry is not in these rows; cream is in our cream and milk powder guide.
• Do not mix datasets inside one day. If you log a pastry from SR Legacy, keep to that record for the same plate.

Where NYUS fits (our app)

We make NYUS, so read this as ours. NYUS is an AI fitness and nutrition coach in early access on Android, with no ads and no data selling. You log foods yourself by searching 8,900+ Indian and global foods or by barcode, and a weekly check-in adjusts your calories, macros and step goal once enough is logged. Barcode coverage of Indian packaged foods is not complete, so search by name when a scan finds nothing.

What this page leaves out

• A calorie target, and any claim about what pastries do to your weight or health: we have not looked up one for any person, so we give none. If you have a medical condition, ask your doctor or dietitian.
• Khari, veg puff, bakery patty, cream roll, pie, baklava, tiramisu, brownies and any bakery's own version: no record used here. The "khari", "veg puff" and "vegetable puff" searches returned no record; we did not search for baklava or tiramisu, and the "pie", "pie crust" and "patty" searches returned 53, 15 and 53 records, which we counted and did not read or list.
• The "pastry" search returned 16 records: 14 are used, and the other 2 are industrial margarine and shortening records for flaky pastries, 173605, 173599, left out. The "danish" search returned 9: 7 are used and the other 2, 169336, 169335, are cabbage records.
• Eclairs: the "eclair" search returned 2 records, one used and one company-named frozen eclair, 167922, left out. The "cheesecake" (2), "cream puff" (2), "puff pastry" (2) and "strudel" (1) searches returned only records used here.
• Turnovers: the "turnover" search returned 5 records; the guava pastry is used and these 4 frozen savoury turnovers are left out: 168963, 169775, 169780, 168962. Cobblers: 3 baby food records, 170978, 171376, 171375, left out. Tarts: the "tart" search returned 3 records; the breakfast tart is used and cherry juice 167807 and dried cherries 171708 are left out.
• Doughnuts: the "donut" search returned 9 records, none used here: 174993, 174990, 174991, 174992, 172756, 172758, 175062, 172757, 172759 (doughnuts are in our cake, muffin and doughnut guide).
