Ingredients 🛒

2 cans crescent roll dough (8 oz each) 🥐
8 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀
1/2 cup granulated sugar 🍚
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted 🧈

Optional for Drizzle:

1/2 cup powdered sugar 🍰
2 tablespoons milk or cream 🥛
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿

Instructions 👩‍🍳

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Filling

In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract.
Mix with a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Prepare the Crescent Dough

Open the crescent roll cans and roll out the dough.
Pinch the seams together to form two large rectangular sheets of dough.
Place one sheet of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4: Assemble the Danish

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom crescent roll sheet, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Place the second sheet of crescent dough on top and gently press down the edges to seal.
Brush the top with melted butter to create a golden, flaky crust.

Step 5: Bake the Danish

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.
Remove the Danish from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes.

Step 6: Make the Glaze (Optional)

In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled Danish using a spoon or piping bag.

Step 7: Slice and Serve 🍽️

Slice the Danish into squares or rectangles and serve warm or at room temperature.
Pair with a hot cup of coffee or tea for the perfect morning treat! ☕
