Crescent Cream Cheese Danish

Ingredients

• For the danishes:
• 2 tubes Crescent Rolls
• 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese (softened)
• ¼ cup granulated white sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp. butter (melted)
• 8 tbsp. light brown sugar
• Glaze:
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 4 tsp. milk
• (only one tube is pictured here, also butter & brown sugar are not pictured)
• Directions
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F)
• In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese with white sugar and vanilla extract.
• Mixture should be creamy and smooth when finished (like cheesecake batter)
• Separate dough into eight rectangles. Seal perforations.
• (Only 4 are shown here)
• Using a brush or spoon, spread melted butter all over crescent rolls. Sprinkle each rectangle with about 1 tbsp. of brown sugar.
• Roll up from long side; pinch edges to seal.
• Holding one end, loosely coil each.
• Now you want to get in there with your fingers and spread out the dough some to make room for the filling. Just pull and stretch and make a nice dent in the middle.
• Place on cookie sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick spray.
• Top each coil with about 2 tablespoons of cream cheese filling.
• Bake at 350(F) for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
• For the glaze, in a bowl, combine powdered sugar, vanilla and milk. Stir until smooth and drizzle over each warm danish.
