Cream Cheese Danish

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.
