Easy Cream Cheese Danish


This is really good, inexpensive brunch recipe. I like to also top with sliced almonds right before baking. I found the original recipe from allrecipes.com http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Easy-Cream-Cheese-Danish/Detail.aspx

Easy Cream Cheese Danish

2 (10 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon butter, softened

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Line bottom of baking pan with 1 can of crescent rolls. Pinch all seams together to seal. In a large bowl, mix together softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Spread filling on top of rolls. Place second can of rolls on top of filling. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until lightly browned.

In a small bowl, stir together confectioners' sugar, milk and butter. After Danish has cooled, drizzle with icing. Cut into squares and serve with coffee for brunch.

yum those look amazing!
Don't forget that Miles started out much bigger than Berkley. He is obviously eating very well, we gave up on nursing so he's just on formula now. He is getting happier and happier every day.

Alison, I can't picture the "line the bottom of the pan with 1 can cresecent rolls. Pinch all seams together to seal." Huh?
