To enjoy this raspberry Danish kringle, simply unwrap it and serve. It is best served at room temperature, allowing the buttery pastry to soften slightly and the filling to become more fragrant. You can gently warm it in a low oven for a few minutes if you prefer a warm pastry, but be careful not to overheat it, as this can dry out the dough. It can be sliced and served in portions, making it easy to share.
