EASY CHEESY CHERRY DANISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Open package of crescent rolls but do not unroll them. Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 8 even slices (as if you were making slice and bake cookies). Lay each slice on the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between pieces. Using the bottom of a drinking glass, flatten each slice. Lightly dust each with flour and using your fingers (lightly flour them), build up the edges slightly. The center of each Danish should be flattened slightly so that each looks like a shallow bowl.
• In a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, and almond extract until smooth. Evenly dollop mixture in center of each Danish, then top each with a teaspoonful of cherry pie filling.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Remove to a cooling rack to cool slightly.
• In a small bowl, whisk confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over each Danish and top with sliced almonds, if desired.

EASY CHERRY CHEESE DANISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. (204.4 C). Take a sheet of parchment paper and place it over one large baking sheet. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, lightly beat one egg and set it aside. This will be used to egg wash the pastries.
• Open the frozen package of puff sheets and allow the package of sheets (one or both) to thaw on your counter, for about 10 to 15 minutes. NOTE: if you plan to make only 6 Danish pastries, then reserve the second frozen pastry puff sheet in the freezer for another day.
• Unfold one pastry sheet, remove packaging paper and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Next, with a paring knife, slice the pastry sheet, along its 3 seams, into three horizontal pieces. Then slice each one, down the center (in half) giving you 6 pieces total for each pastry puff sheet.
• To mince the cherries, slice each cherry to remove the pit. Toss each cherry into a small food chopper or processor. Pulse a few times until the cherries are finely minced. Set it aside.
• In a small bowl, use a fork or a whisk to whisk cream cheese, lemon juice, and sugar until well combined.
• Place about one tablespoon of cream cheese mixture into the center of each pastry square. Then spoon about 1 teaspoon of the freshly chopped cherries over the cream cheese mixture.
• When the pastry sheet is fully defrosted, fold each corner over (about 1-inch) and press down to seal the seam. Fold over all 4 corners of each pastry.
• Now, eggwash each corner. Using a small kitchen brush, dip into the beaten egg and brush each corner (all four corners) of each pastry puff with the egg wash.
• BAKE in the oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until they turn golden.
• Remove from the oven, and while they cool, use a teaspoon to spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of cherry preserves (or jam) in the center of each danish while they are still warm. Then transfer to a wire rack to allow for additional cooling.
• REPEAT the same with the second pastry puff sheet (if you plan to make all 12 danish pastries).
• Mix in a small bowl the powdered sugar and water. Use a teaspoon to drizzle diagonally over each danish and serve.
• When the pastries are fully cooled, use a small spoon to drizzle with icing on top. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• Store any remaining cherry cheese danish in a sealed container, or in the refrigerator.
• It's best to reheat these pastries in a preheated oven at 275 degrees F for about 10 minutes. This will bring back the crispiness in the pastries and taste freshly made.
