Who isn’t a cheese danish LOVER??
Everyone I know just adores them!
Next time. I was thinking of maybe adding strawberry cream cheese!
Maybe even chive cream cheese and top with bacon?!
I may be crazy, but I think it would be fantastic! 😀
You’re Welcome my Cheese Danish Lovers out there! 😉
So easy and you can use any topping you like! Blueberries, cherries, pineapple, apple!

In a medium bowl, use a mixer to combine the softened cream cheese, lemon juice, pure vanilla extract and the white sugar until well combined.set aside.
Open your crescent roll tubes but do not unroll them
Use a sharp knife to cut through them- slicing them. Make thick slices.
Lay each slice on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Use your fingers or a small measuring cup to create a small wall around the edge (to hold the filling).
Using a brush, take the melted butter and add in the 1/4 cup of light brown sugar and mix
Brush the mixture over each danish
Dollop even amounts of the filling into each of the danishes
Bake at 350 for 16-18 minutes or until slightly golden brown

Karen says
Pillsbury now has crescent dough sheets. This would work well with recipe and lots of others using the rolls.

Sharzi says
I’ve made these several times and love them! The only suggestion I have is that the cheese is a bit overwhelming so I use half what it calls for and it’s just right. Also, I wouldn’t just save these for a holiday… they’re good any time!

I have made these for years. I use one half teaspoon of lemon juice in my Cream Cheese. I roll out my dough into one large rectangle spread the cheese and bring both long sides to the middle and slice into 10 or 12 strips

I think this a a great idea! I am going to try using
canned biscuits that are flaky for a more light crustReply
dan glanowski says
With the chive cream cheese and bacon, might want to add just a bit of maple syrup. Either to the cream cheese or as a drizzle to compliment the bacon.

I’m going to try this using Puff Pastry and see how it turns outs. I tend not to like things that use crescent rolls as the base.
Reply
Lana says
You can substitute blueberry, Apple and cherry pie filling for the cream cheese or half cream cheese half pie filling. Yummy!

How much butter is 2 TB?
Reply
Country Baker says
2TB =2Tablespoons 2TBSP
Reply
Leslie Archer says
Jim… 2 TB is 2 Tablespoons. (2 T. is also Tablespoons… 2 t. is teaspoons)
Reply
Laurie says
Jim, TB is abbreviated for tablespoon. You will oftentimes see TB and tb. The tb would be teaspoon.
Reply
Sandy says
Laurie, tb would still be TaBlespoon, not Teaspoon. Usually tsp = teaspoon and tbsp = tablespoon whether in upper case or lower case. Your post above may have been a typo. 🙂

Chris says
2 TB butter is a tad less than 30 grams

I make this a lot in a baking dish. Place one can of the crescents in the bottom. Add the filling (I also add 1 egg) and then add another sheet of crescents on top and bake. It’s delicious! I might try like this because they are so pretty for Christmas morning after I get home from work 🙂

I added apple pie filling on top of the cream cheese filling on one pan and on the second pan I added cherry pie filling (made my own apple and cherry pie filling but canned will work too) fantastic everyone like it better than with just cream cheese filling

Michelle Culton says
I’m going to try these using pineapple cream cheese. And raspberry jam on top of the original recipe would be good too.
Reply
Will S. says
I’m going to try this with 1/2 the cheese and topped with cherry or blueberry pie filling. 🙂

Sandra Akridge says
Put orange flavor in cream cheese filling and dried cranberries on the dough before you roll up. Orange cranberry Danish !

birgit says

Reply
marge says

shirley says
after the 8 squares you then say rectangles does that mean you put 2 of the squares together making 4 rectangles ?

Yummy! I think I will try reducing the amount of cream cheese mixture and adding some cherry or blueberry pie filling.

How many does this make? Even though this question has already been asked, it was never answered so still trying to find out how many it makes.

If you don t need so many danishes, just use one tube of crescent rolls and save the leftover cream cheese filling for another time.
