Ingredients:
- Crescent rolls: The base of these danishes, providing a flaky and buttery texture.
- Cream cheese: Creamy and tangy, it forms the delicious filling.
- Powdered or granulated sugar: Sweetens the filling to perfection.
- Vanilla extract: Adds a hint of warmth and flavor to the cream cheese mixture.
- Cherry pie filling: Provides a burst of fruity goodness and vibrant color.
- Flour: Used for dusting to prevent sticking.

- Milk: Combines with powdered sugar to create a simple glaze.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent rolls and cut them into 15 slices. Place them on the parchment paper and gently flatten them with your hands to create a small well in the center.
- Dust the rolls with flour to prevent sticking.
- In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Spoon a small amount of the cream cheese mixture onto each crescent roll.
- Top each roll with a few cherries from the cherry pie filling.
- Bake the danishes for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the danishes to cool slightly while you prepare the glaze.
- Mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth, then drizzle it over the cooled danishes.
- Serve and enjoy these delectable treats!
Tips:
- Ensure the crescent rolls are flattened enough to create a well for the filling but be careful not to tear them.
- Adjust the amount of cherry pie filling according to your preference for a fruitier or less fruity danish.
- Allow the danishes to cool slightly before adding the glaze to prevent it from melting too quickly.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to several days. Warm them in the oven or microwave before serving to enjoy them fresh and delicious.
