I have made this recipe twice, and it is definitely blog worthy! It is soooo easy, simple, has minimal ingredients, and so satisfying. I, like most people, love cheese danish, and this does not disappoint. You can whip this up for breakfast, a snack, to bring to a party...the options are endless. They are also really good both cold and hot! This isn't healthy, but it's worth the once in a while splurge! Also as a side note, this is pretty much the same recipe as sopapilla (Spanish cheesecake), except you would add cinnamon sugar to the top before baking. I will probably post that recipe soon as well.
Easy Cheese Danish
Ingredients
- 2 cans ready to use refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1.5 8- ounce packages cream cheese I use Neufchâtel cheese because it has less fat/calories than regular cream cheese
- ¾ cup sugar can sub splenda
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white
Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 13X9-inch baking pan. Lay a pack of crescent rolls in the pan and pinch the openings together.
-
Beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg together until smooth. Spread the mixture over the crescent rolls evenly and then lay the second pack of crescent rolls on top of the cheese mixture. Brush with egg white.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown.
-
Top with glaze after cooling for at least 20 minutes.

These look so good!!!! Are they pretty easy to get out of the pan? Or do you think it wouldn't be a bad idea to use aluminum foil and then lift it out before you cut them?
arzea says
It is really easy to get them out, as long as you grease the pan. I am a huge believer I'm foil, but I felt like I didn't need it for these.

Awesome! Thanks for the info 🙂
