Recipe type: Breakfast Sweets
Serves: 16
Ingredients
  • Danish
  • 2 tubes of Pillsbury Crescent Rounds
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ⅔ cup cherry pie filling (including whole cherries and filling)
  • Glaze
  • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Beat together the cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, vanilla, and lemon juice. Set aside.
  3. Separate crescent rounds and place on cookie sheet. Using your thumb or a spoon, create an indentation in the center of each round. Spoon some of the cream cheese mixture into the center, enough to fill the indentation. Then, spoon one cherry and a small amount of filling on top of the cream cheese. Don’t add too much, or it may overflow in the oven!
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool completely before adding glaze.
  5. Glaze – Place 1 tablespoon of cream into a bowl. Gradually whisk in confectioner’s sugar until desired consistency is reached. Add more cream if necessary.
