What’s for Dessert: Chocolate Chip and Cream Cheese Danish

Last Friday I made these danish at home — they were so easy to make and tasted delicious!

They are perfect to make for breakfast, a snack, or even to serve as a dessert.

What I used was:

  • 1 roll Pillsbury Crescent Roll
  • 4 ounces of cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup of sugar
  • A cap full of Vanilla extract
  • Milk chocolate chips, about a cup
  • ⅓ cup of powdered sugar
  • 5 teaspoons of milk

Here’s how I made mine:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper (for easy cleanup).
  3. Open your roll of crescent rolls but do not unroll  and separate them. Instead, using a sharp knife, cut them into 8 think slices to form the danishes.
  4. Lay each of the eight slices down on your lined baking sheet, and press down on each to flatten them.
  5. Meanwhile, mix your cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla into a smooth consistency.
  6. Then, take about a teaspoon of the mixture and put it in the middle of each.
  7. Add milk chocolate chips on top of each — remember the danish will expand a little so it’s put more than a few on each.
  8. Bake in your preheated oven for about 12-14 minutes.
  9. For the glaze topping, combine your milk and powdered sugar and mix with a spoon until it’s the right consistency.
  10. Use your spoon to drizzle the glaze topping on top of the danish.

While they tasted good cooled, these definitely tasted the best freshly served!

They were so quick and easy to make, I know I’ll be making these again soon.
