A Crescent Roll Cream Cheese Danish is a quick, flaky pastry made with crescent roll dough and a sweet cream cheese filling, topped with glaze and optionally fruit or jam. A bakery-style treat made easy at home.

Ingredients

  • 2 cans crescent roll dough
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest or 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream (for glaze)
  • Optional toppings: fresh fruit, jam, sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven according to crescent dough package directions (typically 375°F / 190°C).
  2. Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into triangles.
  3. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest or juice until smooth.
  4. Place a spoonful of cream cheese mixture in the center of each dough triangle.
  5. Fold dough over filling and seal edges. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Whisk egg with water and brush over tops of the pastries.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar and milk or cream to form glaze.
  9. Let pastries cool slightly, then drizzle with glaze and top with fruit or jam if desired.

Notes

Add jam or fruit inside before baking for a fruity twist.Top with cinnamon sugar or sliced almonds before baking for extra texture.Use orange or almond extract instead of vanilla for flavor variation.Best eaten fresh, but can be gently reheated in the oven.
