Indulge in these simple yet irresistible Crescent Roll Cheese Danishes that come together effortlessly! They offer a perfect blend of creamy and sweet, ideal for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients:
2 Crescent Roll Tubes
1- 8 oz. package of Philly cream cheese, softened
2 TB butter, fully melted
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 Cup of light brown sugar
1/2 Cup of regular white sugar
1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
Glaze:
1/2 Cup powdered sugar
1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla extract
4 Teaspoons of milk
Directions:
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F to start warming up.
Mix Filling: In a medium bowl, blend the cream cheese, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and white sugar until the mixture is smooth. Set this aside for later.
Prepare Dough: Open the crescent roll tubes but keep them rolled up. Use a sharp knife to cut into thick slices.
Shape Danishes: Place each slice on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Gently press around the edges of each slice with your fingers or a small measuring cup to create a small rim that will hold the filling.
Add Topping: Combine the melted butter with brown sugar and brush this sweet mixture over each danish.
Fill and Bake: Spoon equal amounts of the cream cheese filling into the center of each danish. Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes or until they turn slightly golden brown.
Glaze and Cool: While the danishes cool, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over each cooled danish.
Serve: Garnish with your choice of cherry, blueberry, or strawberry topping for a burst of fruity flavor.
Enjoy these easy-to-make, delightful danishes for a special treat that feels like a warm hug any day of the week!
