Mini Cherry Cheese Danishes

This recipe was born from the leftovers I had when making my chocolate cherry cream cheesecake. I still had some of the cream cheese mixture and cherry pie filling left over and I really didn’t want to throw it away.

Ingredients

  • 1 Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
  • flour, just for dusting
  • Filling
  • 4 ounces of soft cream cheese
  • ⅓ cup of sugar
  • vanilla splash
  • 1 box of cherry pie filling
  • Icing
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons of milk

Instructions

Open the roll container and do not unroll the rolls. Use a sharp, serrated knife to cut them like cookie slices. Make 10 slices.

Place each slice on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Use a measuring cup to flatten each roll and build a small wall around it.

Use a drop of flour to keep it from sticking and press with your fingertips.

Filling

Electrically mix the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth.

Pour a small amount into each “Danish”.

Add a teaspoon of cherries.

Bake in the oven at 350 for 18-20 minutes.

Allow to cool and add a drizzle of icing.

Icing

Mix the milk and sugar and sprinkle over the Danishes. You can use a piping bag if you wish.
