Easy Cheese Danish Recipe

Instructions πŸ§πŸ‘©β€πŸ³

  1. Using a little flour on your hands, flatten each thawed roll into a 3-inch disc and place on 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper. 🧻🍞

  2. Brush each disc with warm melted butter and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Cover with a clean lint-free dish towel or a sprayed (non-stick spray) plastic wrap.

  3. Let rise in a warm spot until double in size. This will vary based on the temperature in your home. Mine took about 50 minutes in the oven with just the light on. ⏳🌑

  4. While rolls are rising, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon juice with an electric mixer until smooth and set aside. πŸ§€πŸ‹

  5. Remove rolls from oven and heat oven to 350Β°F. Uncover the rolls. Using your fingertips, press an indentation in the center of each roll and fill with approximately 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture and a teaspoon of lemon curd or raspberry preserves. πŸ“πŸ‹

  6. Brush the edges of the rolls with the beaten egg and bake for 15–20 minutes or until light golden brown. πŸ₯šπŸ”₯

  7. Let the danishes cool on the pan for 5 minutes. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, vanilla, and 4 tablespoons of milk. Add more milk as needed to thin icing as desired (if you get it too thin, add a little more sugar).

  8. Drizzle icing over danishes. Serve warm or at room temperature. ❄️πŸ₯

Enjoy within 1–2 days! πŸ½οΈπŸ˜‹
