Ingredients:
1 package of crescent rolls (thawed if using frozen)
1-2 tablespoons flour (for dusting)
Filling:
4 ounces cream cheese
3/4 cup powdered or granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 can cherry pie filling
Glaze:
1/3 cup granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
3 tablespoons milk
Instructions:
Adjust the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and place parchment paper on a baking pan.
Unroll the crescent rolls and cut them into 15 slices using a knife. Place the slices on the greased parchment paper.
Use a measuring cup or small saucer to press down on each roll, flattening it and creating walls around the edges to hold the filling.
Sprinkle flour on the sheet and over the rolls to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered or granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Spoon small amounts of the cream cheese mixture onto each Danish, spreading it evenly within the walls.
Open the can of cherry pie filling and place 4 to 5 cherries on top of each Danish.
Bake the Danishes in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
Allow the Danishes to cool.
In a separate bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and milk to create a thick glaze.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled Danishes.
Sprinkle granulated sugar on top for added sweetness.
Your delicious mini cherry cheese Danishes are now ready to be enjoyed!
