QUICK AND EASY CREAM CHEESE DANISH
Quick and easy preparation–there’s no mixing up a dough and letting it rise. Open a can of crescent rolls, slice, fill, and bake. That’s it! While I’m one who loves mixing up a dough and cringe at the thought of opening a can for anything, I did say these are quick and easy.Quick and easy clean up–there’s no need to bring out the mixer. With everything at room temperature soft, mixing everything by hand is fast. If you use parchment paper in your pans, then you know all you have to do is remove the paper and voilá, clean pan.


When I add the preserves to the dough, I only use about a half a teaspoon and cut down on the cheese. I place the preserves in the well and cover with cheese. It helps keep the preserves from melting and going all over the danish while baking.
Baking time will depend on your oven. The first pan I baked at 15 minutes and realized they needed a little longer. So I baked the second pan at 18 minutes, which was perfect.
When drizzling the icing on the danishes, don’t make this more complicated than needed. I use a fork. Stir the icing with the fork and quickly drizzle in a back-and-forth motion over the danishes. Keep your bowl close to the pan or you may find more icing on the counter than you like.

QUICK AND EASY CREAM CHEESE DANISH
Ingredients:
- 3 cans crescent rolls
- 1 (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons sour cream
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup confectioner’s sugar
- 1 Tablespoon butter, softened
- 2 Tablespoons milk
Directions:
Put cans of crescent rolls in the freezer for about 20 minutes. This helps keep them from being too soft when slicing.
Preheat oven 350.
In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, granulated sugar, sour cream, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
Set aside.
Open cans of crescent rolls–do not unroll. Slice dough into ½ inch slices. You should get around 6-7 pieces. Place rolls on an ungreased pan and press the centers in to make a well. Spread one tablespoon full of cheese mixture into the center.
Bake for 15-20 minutes.
In a small bowl, cream butter into sugar and add milk. Mix until smooth. Cool and drizzle icing over danishes.
