I first noticed this recipe for Cream Cheese Danish when the girls were in 2nd grade or 3rd grade. Their class made cookbooks. I can’t remember now if it was a fund raiser or Christmas presents for parents, but the recipe was in the book.
8 years later I finally tried the recipe and after I tasted it I decided I should have made it much sooner.
You need:
- 2 10 oz cans of crescent rolls
- 2 8 oz packs of cream cheese
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoons sour cream
For icing:
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- preheat oven to 350
- grease a 9 x 13 baking pan
- line the bottom of the pan with one can of the crescent rolls-I sorta flattened mine together into a large square before I put them in the pan
- mix together the cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and sour cream
- spread the mixture evenly over the crescent rolls
- top mixture with the other can of crescent rolls
- bake in 350 oven for 20-30 minutes or till light golden brown
The recipe called for mixing the confectioners sugar, butter, and milk together to drizzle over the danish, but I didn’t even bother with it. They were so good they didn’t need any icing.

March 19, 2012 at 10:57 amThat sounds delicious, and I prefer less sweet anyway, so I would probably skip the icing as well.

March 19, 2012 at 8:27 amI have a similar recipe but it calls for a can of pie filling on top of the cream cheese layer. I use either blueberry or cherry but I bet pineapple or most any kind would be good.

March 18, 2012 at 3:39 pmTipper, wish I had this recipe last week to fix for breakfast when I had company. I’ll certainly keep it handy for my next house guest. Add a side of fresh strawberries, YUM.

March 18, 2012 at 3:15 pmI get so excited about the recipes you post. I try to make them all. My bread didn’t turn out very good though. It was my first time using the bread machine and I tried making a smaller loaf. That recipe is on my re-try list. Cheese danish is my favorite, but it will have to wait until I make the fried apple pies. Then I will need to go on a serious diet!
Thanks for sharing.

March 18, 2012 at 12:43 pmTipper,
tell Ed these can also be made lower fat or partly fat free…
I have used Neufchatel Cheese 1/3 less fat..or no fat cream cheese..
Splenda (same as sugar measurement) type..No fat sour cream..or low fat..I also used one can of dough…stretching it thin and making slices in the top or little doughnut holes…
and drizzled a very small amount of glaze just enough to get the drizzled look…without the major sweetness…At least it worked for me…
Now I am wanting these and I haven’t made them in such a long time…I went thru a Cheese Danish spell a while back…Anywhere we would eat breakfast and they had cheese danish I would get one…I found this recipe, modified it to lower fat and made them until I was over the danish spell…
Thanks for a great post…

Tipper one of my favorite cookbooks is a community cookbook. I just love it. It’s kind of like getting recipes from your grandmother.
Be sure to keep that page marked in your cookbook till I come visit!

March 18, 2012 at 7:22 am“Cream Cheese Danish” sounds wonderful–and easy. I will try it!
And as to today’s music, “Lost Indian” is fast and excellent! The Blind Pig Band did a super job playing it! And “I’ll Fly Away” is always one of my favorites. One of my good friends here went on to glory recently. She had planned her own memorial service and wanted it to be a celebration. She had requested that “I’ll Fly Away” be played and sung (by the whole congregation) at the end! So like Martha to want us to remember her as “Flying Away” to Heaven!
