Crescent Cheese Danishes Cooking Tips:

If you love a bit more flavor on your Danish, try sprinkling crushed nuts on top. Walnuts or pecans are two great options. Another tip is to be sure to use enough butter to get the flaky, layered taste that we all love.

Variations of Crescent Cheese Danishes:

Adding fruit to your Danish adds another flavor dimension. You can also add cinnamon to your pastry batter to make the dough even more delicious.

Ingredients:

• Softened Philly cream cheese.
• Crescent roll tubes.
• Regular white sugar.
• Light brown sugar.
• Melted butter.
• Lemon juice.
• Pure vanilla extract.

FOR THE GLAZE:

• {owdered sugar.
• Milk.
• Pure vanilla extract.

How do you make Crescent Cheese Danishes:

Step 1: I set the temperature of my oven to 350℉.

Step 2: I used a blender to mix the cream cheese, lemon juice, pure vanilla extract, and white sugar in a medium bowl until well mixed.

Step 3: I opened the tubes of the crescent rolls. To slice through them, I used a sharp knife and slice them. I get the slices thick.

Step 4: On a parchment-lined baking sheet, I layered each slice. To make a little wall around the outside, I used my fingers or a little measuring cup.

Step 5: I took the melted butter and add 1/4 cup of light brown sugar to the mixture with a whisk. I brush the blend over each Danish mixture. Even percentages of the filling in each of the Danish dollops.

Step 6: I cooked for 15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, when the color is changed to a golden brown, I removed it from the oven.

Step 7: I let it cool, then I added a touch of glaze.

Step 8: To make the glaze: Combined all three ingredients in a small bowl and stir until soft, then drizzle over every warm Danish.

Now ready to serve!

How to store Crescent Cheese Danishes?

If you’re going to eat your Danish in the next day or so, your countertop is a fine place to store them. Place them in the refrigerator if you’d like to increase their lifespan. Freezing is another option if you find yourself with a large batch that won’t get eaten right away. 

How to reheat Crescent Cheese Danishes?

The microwave is the easiest way to reheat your crescent cheese Danish. You can heat them for 45 seconds at 350 degrees to warm them back up. However, we prefer to use the toaster oven to reheat Danish as it helps it to keep its flaky texture.

How long do Crescent Cheese Danishes last in the fridge?

Your Danish should last at least 3-5 days when refrigerated.

Can I make Crescent Cheese Danishes ahead of time?

We like to make our batter the night before serving Danish for breakfast or brunch. Reheat the Danish before serving them to family and friends if you make them ahead of time.
