Ingredients:
For the Danish:
2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg white
For the Glaze:
½ cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat & Prepare Dough
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Unroll one can of crescent rolls and press it into the bottom of the dish, sealing any seams.
2️⃣ Make the Cream Cheese Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and the egg until smooth and creamy.
Spread the mixture evenly over the crescent roll layer.
3️⃣ Top & Bake
Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and gently place it over the cream cheese layer, pinching seams together.
Brush the top with the egg white to help create a golden, flaky crust.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
4️⃣ Prepare & Drizzle the Glaze
Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once the Danish is slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
5️⃣ Slice & Enjoy!
Let cool slightly before slicing into squares. Serve warm and enjoy!
💡 Pro Tip: Add a layer of fruit preserves before the cream cheese filling for a fruity twist! 🍓🍋
