What Bracha is a Chocolate Danish?

 

Question:

Does a Chocolate Danish you buy in the bakery have the Bracha (מעיקר הדין and for בעל נפש ect) as the Babka described here?

 

Answer:

There is no one way that bakery Danishes are made, although there are plenty of bakeries that use other ingredients in a larger quantity than flour, one would have to inquire regarding each bakery and pastry on its own.

As a general rule, most Danishes have a high amount of sugar, cocoa, chocolate, eggs, oil, etc., aside from the fillings, and would normally qualify as mezonos even for a baal nefesh, unless one is kovea seuda, i.e. eats kedei sviah.
