The Easy Strawberry Cream Cheese Danish is a treat I often crave. Made with buttery crescent roll dough, creamy cheese, and sweet strawberry jam, it’s a delightful blend of textures and flavors.
I personally love enjoying it with a morning coffee, as the tangy cream cheese and fruity jam perfectly complement a fresh brew. And if you’re in the mood to elevate the experience even further, check out this version of the strawberry cream cheese danish that uses fresh strawberries.
Ingredients:
For the Danish:
4 ounces (113 grams) Cream cheese, softened to room temperature
3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
½ teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
8 teaspoons Strawberry jam or preserves (preferably homemade or a high-quality brand)
1 tube (8-ounce or 226 grams) Refrigerated crescent roll dough. Personally, I prefer homemade pastry dough for an authentic touch.
For the Glaze:
½ cup Powdered sugar
2 to 4 teaspoons Whole milk (adjust for desired consistency)
How to Make Strawberry Cream Cheese Danish:
1. Preparation:
Start by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C). I always line my baking sheet with parchment paper for a non-stick experience. If you don’t have parchment paper, a quick spray of cooking spray will do the trick.
2. Cream Cheese Filling:
In a medium-sized bowl, blend the room temperature cream cheese, 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and pure vanilla extract until you get a creamy consistency.
3. Dough Slicing:
Without unrolling, take the crescent roll dough out of its packaging. Using a sharp knife, slice the dough into 8 equal portions and space them evenly on your baking sheet.
4. Forming the Danish:
Shape each dough slice into a 2½-inch round, ensuring the edges are slightly raised to hold the filling.
5. Adding the Filling:
Evenly distribute the cream cheese mixture among the dough rounds, leaving a small border. Then, place a teaspoon of strawberry jam or preserves in the center of each.
6. Baking:
