QUICK & EASY CHEESE DANISH
2 cans of crescent rolls
1 8oz package of cream cheese at room temp.
2 Tbsp granulated sugar, divided
1 tsp lemon juice
¾ tsp vanilla
1 tsp sour cream
Optional: assorted jams and preserves or pie filling ( cherry, strawberry, apricot, blueberry, lemon, etc)
Icing:
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1 tbsp milk
1 tbsp softened butter
Preheat the oven to 350.
Unroll the crescent rolls and separate into rectangles of dough ( two triangles) .
Pinch closed the diagonal cut to form one solid sheet of dough. Sprinkle light with sugar.
Slice crescent roll dough into 1 inch x 8 inch slices.
Gently lift dough slice and twist opposite ends in opposing directions into a loose rope.
Spiral the rope around itself to form a loose circle/spiral.
Place onto a cookie sheet lined with a baking paper, spacing danishes about 2 inch apart.
Press the centers with a finger to make a well for the filling and stretch the sides a bit if it is necessary.
In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract and sour cream.
Add a tablespoon of filling to each roll.
Lightly brush dough with melted butter.
Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes. or until lightly golden brown.
In a small bowl, stir together confectioners' sugar, milk and butter.
You can 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 topping with the optional jam/ pie filling and icing.
