Ingredients:
For the Danishes:
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk (for brushing)
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Step 1: Unveil the Crescents Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
Step 2: Creamy Filling Elegance In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy. Spoon a dollop of the cream cheese mixture onto each crescent roll triangle, spreading it slightly.
Step 3: The Art of Folding Gently fold the edges of the crescent rolls over the cream cheese filling, creating a neat and delightful pastry. Place the filled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
Step 4: Egg Yolk Brilliance In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk. Brush the top of each Danish with the egg yolk to achieve a golden, flaky finish.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescents are beautifully golden brown and the cream cheese filling is set. Allow them to cool on a wire rack.
Step 6: Glaze Elevation Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze generously over the cooled danishes, adding an extra layer of sweetness.
