Ingredients:
2 cans ready to use refrigerated crescent rolls
2 8-ounce packages cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg white
Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method:
Preheat oven to 350* degrees and grease a 13X9-inch baking pan. Lay a pack of crescent rolls in the pan and pinch the openings together. Beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg together until smooth. Spread the mixture over the crescent rolls evenly and then lay the second pack of crescent rolls on top of the cheese mixture and brush with egg white. Bake for 35-45 minutes until the top is golden brown. Top with glaze after cooling for 20 minutes.
Kitchen Notes:
I have made this danish using low fat cream cheese and splenda (sugar substitute) and it was delicious! Also, the amount of filling the original recipe calls for makes a VERY heavily filled danish. I have halved the filling using 1 package of cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 whole egg, and a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and it was still very good. If you use the half filling method, bake for closer to 30-35 minutes.
I love how quick and simple this recipe is. Going to the store this afternoom and will have to get some crescent rolls. Heading out on vacation tomorrow morning and this will be a fun breakfast treat for the road.
ReplyDeleteThat is the kind of recipe easy and quick…looks perfect for breakfast with this yummmmmy combo savory–sweet :)
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Gera
I would love to have a slice of that danish! Also, happy to see that you can use lighter ingredients with good results!
ReplyDeleteMost people don;t have time for something complicated. This recipe is simple and sounds delicious. I'm going to try this one.
ReplyDelete-Allison Jae
I love a good cheese danish and I'm thinking that the lower fat and splenda might encourage me to eat twice as many ; )
ReplyDeleteYou can also buy reduce fat crescent rolls in Pillsbury. I get mine that way at Walmart all the time. So more calories cut there too. Plus top this with some sugar free cherry or Apple pie filling. Get this at Walmart. Now this will make a good danish.
DeleteLove this Danish recipe! I absolutley love cheese danishes but never make them. Now maybe I will!
ReplyDeleteEasy & Delicious!! Love it!
ReplyDeletemmmm I love cheese danishes. This looks super easy to make. I might just have to attempt it myself.
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving the lighter version. This looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteMegan.. have a great time on your vacation! I hope you enjoy this as much as we do :) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGera @ SweetsFood... thank you so much :)
Patsyk ... thanks! The lighter style is really good... I couldn't tell it was lower in sugar and fat even :)
Anonymous..... thank you Allison :)

It's a good thing I'm a runner... 'Cause that means I can make this danish as many times as my little tummy wants it! :)
ReplyDeleteMichelle.. LOL you crack me up :) thank you!
ReplyDeleteIm saving this recipe since hubby loves them. Thanks Jo!
ReplyDeleteEasy, fast and delicious!
ReplyDeleteAngie's Recipes
DELICIOUS!
ReplyDeleteGail... thank you!
ReplyDeleteAngie... thanks!
Farina... hope he enjoys it! Thanks :)
This was delicious and easy to make, Thank you so much for the recipe! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome recipe! Did this for an american heart association bake sale, sold like crazy! Very tasty & simple
ReplyDeleteSomeone mentioned adding fresh fruit. I was thinking Polaner All Fruit spread or something similar. This sounds spectacular. Wish I had some cream cheese in the house right now.
ReplyDeleteAli, Lord, SJerZGirl.... thanks!
ReplyDeletePosted your great blog once I found it on Pinterst renamed as Christmas Cheese Danish! LOL...someone renamed it for you! Can't wait to make it tomorrow. Wanted to give you a shout out!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks,
Alise

Can you make the night b4 and just bake in the am??
ReplyDeleteI think im adding cherry preserves to mine
Sure! You can assemble ahead of time and bake later.... No problem!
ReplyDeleteJust made it for Christmas breakfast! It was delish, butI definitely would've cut the filling recipe in half. I added cherry pie filling to it too, and after 45 minutes it was still pretty runny in the middle. I will make it again though, the family loved it!
ReplyDeleteMaybe instead of pie filling, use raspberry, strawberry jam.
DeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteGoing to make it tomorrow! When you halved the recipe, do you still add the egg white? looks so yummy!
Thanks
Dana...
ReplyDeleteif you're going to half the fillIng, what I do is beat the egg first in a separate bowl and simply eyeball dividing the beaten egg into two parts... Using only 1/2 of it. The egg white us used as a wash for the top of the pastry so you'll still want to use that :)
Thanks for the question and I hope you enjoy it!
I have also added cherry pie filling to the top of the cheese itself. Very good
ReplyDeleteI made it this morning it made a lot of cheese filling next time I would use one cream cheese & more crust our make another dish Loved it!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis will be my "comfort food" dinner tonight, thank you! I've had this in my pinterest gallery just waiting and can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteKristy.... i hope you enjoy :) thanks for the comment!
ReplyDeleteFor the lighter version, did you sub all the sugar with Splenda? This looks DELICIOUS! Can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteI have used all splenda or truvia and it worked great! :)
DeleteI prepared this Christmas eve but put in the fridge overnight without cooking and just popped it in the oven in the morning. My family LOVED it!!! Will definitely be making it again!! I used 2 packages of cream cheese and will probably do that again! YUMMY! :)
DeleteCan't wait to try it for a morning meeting tomorrow. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed!
DeleteI made a half recipe and used only 4 oz of no-fat creme cheese and subbed out all the sugar for splenda and it turned out great! I didn't figure out the calorie content, but it had to be low since nofat creme cheese only has 30 calories per oz and I only used 4 oz. I felt good about using this lower fat, no sugar recipe for my hubby who has diabetes. Now I can just count the cheese as a dairy protein and it's a non guilt treat. Often when I try to swap out low fat/no sugar in recipes it doesn't taste very good. Thank you so much! I'll make this again soon......tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you liked it! I have used spenda and truvia and thought it was just as good as sugar but I've never tried no fat cream cheese... thanks for the suggestion! :)
Deletethanks Anonymous. Was going to ask about diabetes since wife has it. Looks and sounds delish.
DeleteI just made it ...it's baking in the oven!! Can't wait :)
ReplyDeletePlease let me know how you like it! :)
DeleteMade this today for our bed & breakfast guests and it was a HUGE HIT. I would definitely cut the filling in half; it was a lot but so yummy, yummy. I actually cut it in the shape of the original crescent, which my guests did not have a problem with. To plate the remaining (I couldn't believe I had left overs) danish on a cake stand for guests to eat throughout the day, I cut the crescent triangles in half. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
ReplyDeleteSo glad they enjoyed... and thank you for stopping by!
DeleteIn your grandmother's original recipe was it canned crescent dough, or is there a dough recipe? If I ever find myself out of crescents on the weekend I'd love to still be able to make this without running to the store.
ReplyDeleteIf she ever made it with a homemade dough, I don't recall it... sorry. I'm sure you could make your own sweet pastry dough and use it though! :)
DeleteI've been making this forever. Originally found it on the Pillsbury site. You can use one can of crescents as well, half the filling, spread it down the middle and make one inch cuts down the side of the dough and fold them over the filling making a sort of braid. I usually assemble it all on some parchment and slip it onto a cookie sheet to bake. It's a quick way to turn this fancy schmancy when you need to impress :)
ReplyDeleteNice idea! Thanks for sharing :)
DeleteLove this idea. In fact this is what I am going to be doing tonight ! Thanks.
DeleteI dont there are many things that a lemon cant improve...so I included the zest of one meyer lemon in the cheese filling and the another in the glaze....mmmm mmmm. This one is a keeper.
ReplyDeleteGREAT idea! Thanks for sharing it with us :)
Deletethank you for sharing this! i can't wait to make it ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by! :)
DeleteI made this for Easter brunch and it was delicious. I cut the filling in half based on the comments and really wish I hadn't. When I make it again, I'll use way more filling. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you enjoyed it... thanks so much for letting me know :)
DeleteThis looks so good. I made it this morning since the kids were out of school. I must say I messed up, I got distracted and ended up putting the egg whites into the cream cheese batter. I halfed the filling and couldn't figure out why it was so runny! I made a mess :) It spread itself right off my bottom layer of dough. I baked it anyway, and happy to say even though the filling was very thin, my kids enjoyed anyways. Next time I will pay attention, and use the full filling recipe. I was wondering though, what should the consistancy of the filling look like after mixing? I wasn't sure how lumpy ( if at all) it should be. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you enjoyed it despite the mix up :) the filling should be fairly smooth and lump free. I've found the best method is to use an electric hand mixer if you have one. Thanks so much for stopping by and letting me know what you thought :)
DeleteThanks for sharing this , I am going to make it. hope can give my family suprise~~
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteI make something similar, but use almond extract instead of vanilla. Use it in the filling as well as the glaze. So good!
ReplyDeleteAlmond extract is yummy too :) Thanks!
DeleteJust put mine into the oven! Can't wait to taste it!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy ;)
DeleteLike the idea of almond flavoring too. Top it off with a few sliverd almonds too. MMMMMM
ReplyDeleteGreat Idea Linda :)
DeleteI used dental floss to cut the rolls of crescent dough into small circles about a 1/4 inch thick (I got 20/roll). I then made an indention in each and filled with the cream cheese mix and baked at 350 for 15 minutes. It made delicious mini Danishes!
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea Tracy... thanks for sharing!
DeleteWe have been enjoying this danish for a long time!!! It is wonderful to make for church dinners and finger food socials!!
ReplyDeleteThank Brenda!
DeleteAmazing! I'm thinking all it needs is my lemon glaze....yumm
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteBaking in the oven now. I used almond extract instead of vanilla, can't wait to eat it! Sandy
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed it Sandy! :)
DeleteMaking this with vanilla pudding filling and chocolate glaze for a boston cream danish. We'll see how it turns out. Little worried about how the pudding is going to set up.
ReplyDeleteI hope it went well! Sounds delicious!
DeleteMade this morning. Very good....I would cut the cream cheese to one package and sugar down to 1/3 cup.....
ReplyDeleteI did something similar Donna... the original recipe does have a LOT of filling :)
DeleteJust made these tonight for a work shower ..they were awesome right outta oven hope they are just as good tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI hope your co-workers enjoyed! :)
DeleteJust pulled out of the oven and waiting to put the glaze on. My husband loves cheese danish so I hope this will become a family favorite too! Thanks for the recipe Sherri Jo!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope you enjoyed it!
DeleteHi there! Just wondering if this can be made the night before and left in the fridge to bake the next morning? What do you think?
ReplyDeleteYes! I have done that many times and it works out GREAT!
DeleteHave you ever made individual danish in cupcake pan?
ReplyDeleteStephanie
I have yes :) Just decrease the baking time. I believe mine baked for about 1/2 the time the original recipe called for :)
DeleteOMGoodness Kitchen Girl! Eating this now with my hubby ...... he is moaning as he eats it lol Thank you for such an easy dessert that taste like you've been in the kitchen all day!-
ReplyDeleteThanks Nichole! :)
DeleteGreat recipe! Just made it , it was ready in less then 30 minutes! Thank you !
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteOh my gosh!!!! I have 16 kids and this is an awesome and quick breakfast or dessert idea. My daughter in law made some with Cherry pie filling. So good!!! I can't wait to make some with apple pie filling. Thank you for this recipe
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am so glad you enjoyed!
DeleteJust made this and it's delish! However, the icing recipe calls for 2 TBS of milk....this does not work...I believe you meant 2 tsp. That would be my only correction to this recipe..otherwise this is wonderful! thank you for sharing!! :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting that it didn't work for you as written... It's always worked for me, with the many times I've made it. The glaze is supposed to be quite thin. Sorry it was an issue for you!
DeleteI prepared this last night and popped it in the oven this am for breakfast. It was AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting me know! I am so glad you enjoyed it!
DeleteI was wondering if you could make it the night before. I was afraid the crescent roll dough would get mushy if out of the can overnight.
DeleteCould you substitute the egg??!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've never done it myself but I'd think you could use an egg substitute if you needed to :O)
DeleteThis recipe is delicious! I have made it several times now for my husband and he loves it! I have been looking for quite some time for a SIMPLE cream cheese danish recipe since it is his favorite. So much better than premade, store bought versions. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming by and letting me know :)
DeleteSo good
ReplyDeletethanks! :)
DeleteDo you think this could be halved and put in a smaller dish like 8x8 pan? I would love to make this, but not sure I want as much as a 9x3 will make!
ReplyDeleteFound your recipe via Pinterest link. Turned out very yummy and picky Daughter LOVED it! (Made her right it on the recipe that she liked it!) Will be making again. Thanks for sharing! Anna
ReplyDeleteHas anyone ever added a little bit of cinnamon to add a little flavor?
ReplyDeleteI made this today for Christmas breakfast. I actually prepared it last night and let it refrigerate until this morning. Worked great...so easy! I added a frozen berry mixture of raspberries, blueberries and blackberries (about 2-3 handfuls) and it was awesome!
ReplyDeleteYum! thanks for the tip on halving the filling it was perfect. The cheap brand cresents didn't fill the pan well, but worked fine for the top. The name brand 'big and flaky' filled the pan perfectly. Made up the filling and glaze the night before, in the morning just had to preheat the oven and assemble.
ReplyDeleteI made this today as part of our Christmas breakfast...it was excellent! I made it as written and I wouldn't change a thing. It's perfect! My mom requested the recipe.
ReplyDeleteLinda R.
Very yummy! I made it without the glaze and it was still very sweet. I might decrease the amount of sugar next time, but definitely going to make it again!
ReplyDeleteI make this all of the time but I substitute the vanilla for almond extract and add a little cinnamon to the glaze mixture. Delish.
ReplyDeleteI used almond extract in mine as well. It was so good!!!
DeleteI just visited your post, from facebook. I like the look of this recipe. I want to try it, but the lower fat version. I'm on the Weight Watcher program, at this time, so I would like to put the recipe into my e tools and see just how many points for each piece. I love cheese danish but have avoided them for sereral months, due to the high fat content. If this works out well, I will definately try making it.
ReplyDeleteI found your post a few weeks ago via Pintrest and I love this receipe! I made it for New Year's Day breakfast. I used cresent sheets and 1 package of 1/3 less fat and 1 package of fat free cream cheese. I swirled in a little blackberry jam before I added the top. It was amazing! My daughter told me to hurry up and make more, before we run out! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteD-E-L-I-O-U-S! Saw it, baked it, ate it and got alot of I love you's from my boys! :o)
ReplyDeleteDo u separate rolls and place each roll in pan or place it in pan how its packaged??
DeleteI used it as packaged, stretching it a bit if needed to fit the pan. You will notice seams (perforations)that should be pinched closed :)
DeleteSooooo yummy. I have always liked Danish but I always wished it had more filling. I used the original recipe and now I LOVE Danish. We ate ours with fresh raspberries which just made it more delicious.
ReplyDeletesounds wonderful! ;)
DeleteJust found this on pinterest...Wow, this looks yummy! Can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteLove recipes with regular ingredients.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Deletemaking this tonite for breakfast tomorrow morning. can hardly wait to try it. sounds so good!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy it!
DeleteThis was really good! I added some lemon zest to the cream cheese, and some blueberries on top of the cream cheese layer it turn out delicious!
ReplyDelete:) glad you enjoyed!
DeleteI thought this recipe was great! very good my family loved it. I'm making it again for Valentines day, this time gonna add cherry pie filling. yum!!
ReplyDeleteI made this twice it was delicious however the middle never cooks as well as the edges I even cut down on the cream cheese
ReplyDeleteHow many servings does this make?
ReplyDelete16-18 servings. Conservative slices :)
DeleteIs there any way to find out the nutritional information? I'm on Weight Watchers and would like to figure out the point value for these. I can figure it out if I knew how many servings the recipe makes.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing!! I can't wait to try them!!!
Susan -
Sgmfreebie@yahoo.com
Recipe as posted would have 16-18 servings :)
DeleteDoes it need to be refrigerated after baking? I just made this for morning & not sure if it can sit out all night.
ReplyDeleteIt should be covered and refrigerated :)
DeleteI've been baking all my life and this looks so good. I was thinking to dress it up for a holiday, you could top the glaze with some chopped nuts and pieces or maraschino cherries.
ReplyDeletewhen I went to buy the crescent rolls today I found they had undivided crescents so you don't have to pinch the openings together
ReplyDeleteJust awesome! Make it for the family and they loved it!
ReplyDeleteI will NEVER purchase another store bought danish again! Wonderful recipe!
ReplyDeleteSubstituting with the frozen puff pastry instead of the crescent rolls.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness...This is the recipe for the danish my friend brought us when I had surgery. It was sooooo good. Thanks for sharing I WILL be making it.
ReplyDeleteI had to giggle when I read your introduction to this recipe! You must be awfully young (& that could mean lots of things since I am 79!) Your comment was that your Mother & Grandmother had made this all your life! Canned biscuits, crescent rolls etc., haven't been on the market too many years! Anyway, I'm sure glad we have them now, & it's about time to make these again! I too, have been doing it for years, but around here we call it Sopapilla Cheesecake! Thanks for the beautiful work on here!
ReplyDeleteI make Sopapilla Cheesecake the same way, but add sugar and cinnamon on top of the top layer of rolls, and don't use the glaze. I just wish there was some alternative to the fairly salty crescent rolls. They're not terribly healthy for you but boy, do they taste good!
DeleteMaking this tomorrow for sure. Sounds AMAZING!!! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI've made the exact same thing for a while now, only with sugar/cinnamon sprinkled on top. In my opinion, the powdered sugar glaze is much too sweet...tongue curling so. I will stick to my sugar/cinnamon.
ReplyDeleteI would like to know how much sugar substitute would you use for this recipe? I am dieting and would love to try this but I want too make the low fat version.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great recipe....
1cup splenda for sugar
ReplyDelete1/2 cup splenda for powder sugar
I use splenda in replace of sugar all the time in recipes and never had a problem.
Thank you so much for the information. I'm looking forward to making this and taking this on our camping trips. What a surprise it will be....
DeleteThank you again!!!
I made this on Sunday and instead of putting the glaze on the top, I used blueberry/cherry preserves. It was AMAZING!!! Next time, I am going to substitute the regular cream cheese and use the chocolate cream cheese.........YUMMMY! Thanks for the recipe - it sure was a hit in my house ♥
ReplyDeleteI bet the flavored cream cheeses that they have now would be great instead of just plain cream cheese!
ReplyDeletePinch the crescent rolls together .. They come cut in triangles from the can .. Prevents dough from separating
ReplyDeleteI love this recipe! It's quick and easy n its great for a Sunday brunch! First time I made this, it was so heavenly! I'm going to try this with 1/3 less fat cream cheese n see if it makes any difference. :)
ReplyDeleteDo you need to grease and flour the baking pan first?
ReplyDeleteGrease with non stick cooking spray, no flour needed :)
DeleteI've made this many, many times now! Turns out great every time! Thanks for the awesome recipe!
ReplyDeleteMy sister mad this today and it was awesome! I wouldn't cut the recipe in half because it was the perfect amount of cream cheese. My only complaint was that the filling was a little fluffy and not a true cream cheese consistency. I have no idea why.
ReplyDeleteThe consistency is intended to be lighter than that of a true cream cheese.... if you like your danish filling more firm, I suggest adding an additional egg yolk to the mixture :)
DeleteI had a hard time spreading the rolls out to cover a 13X9 pan. Any suggestions? Same problem covering the top of the cream cheese. I was afraid I was handling the dough too much stretching it out, sticking it together, etc. (Still tasted delicious!)
ReplyDeleteMy crescent roll dough did fit either. It was easy to press the dough to fit on the bottom layer of the pan. I pressed the top layer onto a sheet of wax paper first to get it to the right size. Then turned that stretched dough out over the top of the cream cheese layer. Baked up just fine and probably made it a little crispier which I liked.
DeleteHi If I am using Truvia for sugar..how much would I use?..also maybe add a little pie filling for fruit and cheese like strawberries or blueberries?
ReplyDeleteHi Patricia,
DeleteI believe Truvia is the same as table sugar for measurement. Check the package, it should say the equivalent amount. You can add pie filling or canned fruit that is well drained. Fresh fruits tend to leach too much liquid to have a good result. :)
Just did this recipe and I love it. It is quick and easy. I will be passing this recipe to friends and family.
ReplyDeletehow do I get to print this recipe?
ReplyDeleteOmg! This was absolutely delicious! Made it an hour ago! I am pregnant with twins and i need to say they loved it too! Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeletePlease add this again to your FaceBook... I had this on my Facebook... But it left before I got to fix it... also I love just looking at this picture.. I found this picture of this cheese Danish with all this Glaze on top... Can you send it back thru to my Facebook....
ReplyDeleteCynthiaCoxThurman...I need to copy this picture to give to a friend... Sorry I have lost my copy..
This danish was impressively good and I even made it VEGAN for my daughter! I used vegan cream cheese, egg substitute powder and almond milk. Turned out fantastic. Can't wait to try the original version for the rest of the family.
ReplyDeleteI love this recipe! I had made it several times & its always a big hit! also: before adding the top layer crescent roll, I have used different pie fillings; smooth it over cheesecake layer & then top with crescent. AWESOME reviews!
ReplyDeleteCindylou Wolfe
How did u store it?
DeleteThis sounds amazing! When you lay the crescent rolls in the baking pan do you unroll them or flatten the roll of canned dough at all before adding the cream cheese mixture? It sounds like the mixture and second can of dough wouldn't be able to stay on top of the first roll of dough if left as-is. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteUnroll both and pinch together the seams on the bottom one a little - though I really found that isn't too necessary as long as you don't have big gaping holes.
DeleteI just wanted to say I have made this a few times and it going to be on the table for Christmas morning! Thanks for sharing and being part of the memory that day for my family
ReplyDeleteI made this Tonite OMG!!! It was fabulous!!! My girls and I really Enjoyed it really delicious!!!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely delish! I used Neufchatel cheese instead of cream cheese to add a bit of protein and less fat and make it feel at least, a little guilt free! Now my go-to recipe when I want my favorite danish - I think it rivals the ones I adore at Panera and at about the cost of 1 there, I can make an entire pan ful!
ReplyDeleteI wonder the necessity of the egg. If someone had an allergy would it be the same if egg omitted?
ReplyDeleteYou could possibly use an egg substitute. The egg white graze isn't needed but the egg yolks in the cream cheese layer bind the filling and make it firm. I will do some research and see what I can find. :)
DeleteI am SO glad I found this recipe and actually made it! It is for sure a favorite of my family. I can't think of a bad time of day to eat this deliciousness. And if I ever thought of halving the recipe, my family of 6 would surely revolt. Yum yum yumminess!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI made this today and it was a real hit! I think next time I might add some blueberries on top of the batter before I put the top crust on. It was so easy and delicious. Thanks for the recipe !
ReplyDeleteHave you tried these with any other kind of filling? Fruit? just curious
ReplyDeleteHi Carla,
DeleteI have used prepared pie filling and jam and both worked well. Fresh fruit can give off too much juice as it cooks and makes for a soggy, wet filling. Well drained canned fruit would work. :)
This was incredibly delicious & easy. Best of all everyone (about 10 people) who tried it loved it!
ReplyDeleteThis cheese danish is AWESOME!!!! Mine took less time to cook, So I got to try it sooner! YUM!
ReplyDeleteCould you use like a cherry pie filling over the cheese mixture?
ReplyDeleteYes, a pie filling can be used... I suggest using more of the fruit and less of the liquid so that the danish doesn't get too sloppy. Prepare the danish as directed and dot the cream cheese layer with your pie filling before adding the top crust :)
DeleteCan you add pineapple or cherry bits to the filling with good results? These just look wonderful and easy!
ReplyDeleteKelli..
DeleteYes! Pineapple and cherry both work wonderfully! Thanks :)
I have made this and is delicious!! I add drained crushed pineapple to the cream cheese!!!
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteDo you pinch together both crusts or just the bottom one?
ReplyDeleteHi there :)
DeletePinch both the bottom and top crusts. The crescent dough sheets they have now are great to use in this recipe also!
Love this recipe! I've made it several times, and in different ways. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shelly!
DeleteI just made it with the directions for the less filling. won't do that again. baked it for 32 minutes and almost burned the thing up. it tastes o.k. but I will follow the other directions next time
ReplyDeleteWhen it says pinch the opening together for the Cresent rolls on the bottom can someone explain... and I rolling them
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing. I've always wanted to try this recipe and think I will this weekend. Thanks for sharing with Foodie Friends Friday! Hope to see you next week!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeletePrint :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Renee :)
