    refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 8 oz pkg
    cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 c
    sugar
  • 1 tsp
    lemon juice
  • 3/4 tsp

How To Make easy cheese danish

  • 1
    Preheat the oven to 350. Place a sheet of parchment paper on cookie sheet or baking pan.
  • 2
    Open the crescent rolls carefully so as not to tear the dough. Do not unroll...you will need to leave it in it's cylindrical shape.
  • 3
    Slice the dough into pieces about 1/4 inch thick (as though you're slicing cookie dough). Place the slices on a cookie sheet.
  • 4
    Now press the center in to make an indentation for the cream cheese filling.
  • 5
    In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cream cheese, regular sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and sour cream.
  • 6
    Add a dollop (about 1 tbsp) of the mixture to the indentation you made in each circle of dough.
  • 7
    Bake for 15 - 20 minutes.
  • 8
    Prepare Icing: Mix together the confectioner's sugar, milk and butter in a small bowl.
  • 9
    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."
  • 10
    Take the danish out of the oven and allow them to cool for 10-15 minutes before icing.
