Easy Cherry Danish With Sweet Cream Cheese Food

CHERRY DANISH

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat softened cream cheese, sugar and almond extract until smooth. Use a rubber spatula to clean the sides of the bowl as you are mixing. Set cream cheese mixture aside.
• Open only one package of crescent rolls and remove them from the tube. Do not unroll them, instead keep them in a long cylinder shape and place on a cutting board. (The crescent rolls will dry out and not shape easily if left on the counter. This is why we recommend freezing them and then cooking in batches).
• Using a sharp knife, cut the long cylinder into 12 equal pieces.
• Using your fingers and thumbs, flatten each round circle in the middle. Place each circle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper about 2 inches apart. With a pastry brush, wash the edges and sides of the crescent rolls with egg wash.
• Using a small spoon, place a small amount of cream cheese in the center of each crescent roll.
• Using a small spoon, place a small amount of cherry pie filling on top of the cream cheese filling. Make sure to have at least 3 cherries on each danish or they will look flat and not full of fruit.
• Bake in the oven for 10-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
• Whisk together powdered sugar and milk to create glaze. Drizzle each danish with glaze and serve warm.
• Open your second tube of crescent rolls and repeat.

Add egg yolk, vanilla extract, lemon juice and salt and continue mixing until the mixture is nice and smooth. Place the puff pastry on a try lined with parchment paper, dust it with flour and roll it out carefully. Place the cream cheese mixture down the middle of the puff pastry sheet lengthwise- creating about a 3 inch strip of filling. Spread the cherries on top of the filling. Using a pizza cutter or kitchen scissors, cut the sides of the pastry into 1 inch wide strips. Cut towards the filling, leaving about 1 inch before actually getting to the filling. Alternating the sides, fold them in over the filling until it will look like a braided pastry with fruit peeking out. Brush the dough with the beaten egg yolk. Bake for 400° F for 25 minutes until golden brown. Mix powdered sugar and milk and mix until well blended. Let it cool before glazing the pastry.
