How To Make easy cheese danish
-
Step 1Preheat the oven to 350. Place a sheet of parchment paper on cookie sheet or baking pan.
-
Step 2Open 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.
-
Step 3Slice the dough into pieces about 1/4 inch thick (as though you're slicing cookie dough). Place the slices on a cookie sheet.
-
Step 4Now press the center in to make an indentation for the cream cheese filling.
-
Step 5In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cream cheese, regular sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and sour cream.
-
Step 6Add a dollop (about 1 tbsp) of the mixture to the indentation you made in each circle of dough.
-
Step 7Bake for 15 - 20 minutes.
-
Step 8Prepare Icing: Mix together the confectioner's sugar, milk and butter in a small bowl.
-
Step 9Use 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."
-
Step 10Take the danish out of the oven and allow them to cool for 10-15 minutes before icing.
