Cream Cheese Danish Recipe

Great recipe. I took neuroticmom’s advice and sliced the dough. I cook with my adult son who has severe autism, and he would not have had patience tonight for the twisting, but it will add another level of interest in the future as his motor skills improve. He enjoyed pushing down on it with a wooden pestle-type tart former that I got at a catalogue party, so anytime he gets to use a gadget, it’s a bonus. Instead of mixing the cream cheese, I had him squish it through a potato masher until his arms were tired. We will definitely be making these again.

Genius! to cut into strips andtwist. I also like NeuroticMom’s idea of just slicing through the rolled up dough! Having an open can of pumpkin, I added it to the cream cheese mix along with an eggs and pumpkin pie spice. Because it’s just me, I used only one can of rolls and adjusted thefilling accordingly. The four are now baking in my toaster oven and will soon be brunch! Thanks for your ideas.

That is a great response from a recipe. Congratulations! I know being a food blogger and receiving comments and emails is the reason we do this. This looks like an easy danish recipe and one I’d love to try. Pillsbury products make their way into our cart on most grocery trips. Yummy!

These look amazing- I am not surprised that Pillsbury is thrilled that you have found one of their products to be so versatile in making breakfast goodies! The best thing about success is when it comes when you are not looking for it-a nice surprise. I have book marked this recipe for making when I have guests and do not want to spend all my time in the kitchen.

Take the danish out of the oven and allow them to cool for 10-15 minutes before icing.
Voila! Cream cheese danish without leaving the house or breaking a sweat.
