Cream Cheese Danish

Cream Cheese Danish

Adapted From: mygreatrecipes.com

Danishes are a nice change of pace for breakfast... and super tasty. I made these for my husband and the guys at the milk barn this morning - they were a big hit!

Ingredients:

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup sugar

1 tblsp lemon juice

2 (8-ounce) tubes refrigerated crescent rolls

raspberry or strawberry jelly {or jam}

Icing:

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2-3 tsp milk

Preparation:

Blend cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice. Unroll crescents into 8 separate rectangles. Pinch diagonal perforations together to seal the center of each rectangle. Divide cream cheese filling evenly amongst the dough; spread filling down center. Fold both long edges over filling, leaving 1-inch of filling uncovered. Pinch short edges to seal. Cover baking sheet with wax paper. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Top each open-face Danish with jelly { I used Grandma Mary Ann's homemade raspberry jelly}. 

In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and vanilla. Stir in milk, one tsp at a time, until icing is smooth. Drizzle over warm Danishes.
