Easy Cheese Danish

Easy Cheese Danish

Ingredients:

2 cans of crescent rolls
1 8oz package of cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
3/4 tsp vanilla
1 tsp sour cream

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 F. 

 

• Place a sheet of parchment paper on cookie sheet or baking pan.

• Open the crescent rolls carefully so as not to tear the dough. Do not unroll...you will need to leave it in it's cylindrical shape. 
• Slice the dough into pieces about 1/4 inch thick (as though you're slicing cookie dough). Place the slices on a cookie sheet. 
• Now press the center in to make an indentation for the cream cheese filling.

• In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cream cheese, regular sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and sour cream. 
• Add a tablespoon of the mixture to the indentation you made.

• Bake for 15 - 20 minutes.

Drizzle for top:

1 cup confectioner's sugar
1 tbsp milk
1 tbsp softened butter

• Mix together the confectioner's sugar, milk and butter in a small bowl. 
• Use a spoon to drizzle it over the tops of the danish. (or you can put it into a small zip-top bag and snip of the corner for an easy "piping bag.")

• Take the danish out of the oven and allow them to cool for 10-15 minutes before icing.

 

Enjoy...
