INGREDIENTS
1 Medium PKG. of softened Philly cream-cheese.
Two crescent roll tubes.
1/2 C. of regular white sugar.
1/4 C. of light brown sugar.
2 TBSP. of melted butter.
1 TSP. of lemon juice.
1 TSP. of pure vanilla extract.
FOR THE GLAZE:
2/3 C. of powdered sugar.
4 TSP. of milk.
1 TSP. of pure vanilla extract.
How To Make Crescent Cheese Danishes
I set the temperature of my oven to 350℉.
I used a blender to mix the cream cheese, lemon juice, pure vanilla extract, and the white sugar in a medium bowl until well mixed.
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.
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.
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.
I cooked for 15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, when the color is changed to a golden brown, I removed it from the oven.
I let it cool, then I added a touch of glaze.
To make the glaze: combine all three ingredients in a small bowl and stir until soft, then drizzle over every warm Danish.
