Easy Strawberry Raspberry Cream Cheese Danishes
Easy Strawberry Raspberry Cream Cheese Danishes made with refrigerated crescent rolls, fresh strawberries and raspberry jam.
Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp raspberry jam
- 6-8 medium strawberries, cut into coins
- 1 (8 oz) can crescent rolls
- 1 Tbsp milk
- Granulated or coarse sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and strawberry jam until smooth and creamy.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and line the triangles up in a way that you create 4 rectangles. Pinch the dough together along the edge of the triangles to create the rectangles.
- Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly between the four pieces of dough, spreading on one half of each rectangle and leaving a thin border around the edges. Arrange the strawberry slices on top of the cream cheese mixture.
- Fold the dough over the filling so that edges meet, and press along edges firmly with a fork to seal.
- Brush the top of each pastry with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Cut three diagonal slits on top of each pastry using a knife.
- Bake for 13 to 16 minutes, or until the pastries are a deep golden brown. Remove from the oven, and allow to cool for around 10 minutes.
