Ingredients:
- 1 package of refrigerated dough (like crescent roll dough)
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
- 8 drops vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk (adjust for glaze consistency)
- Peach preserves or any fruit preserves of your choice
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dough: Start by separating the dough into four rectangles. Gently press down to seal any perforations, ensuring a smooth, uninterrupted surface for your fillings.
-
Roll the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough rectangle into a 7-inch by 3.5-inch rectangle. This will give you a nice, even canvas to work with.
-
Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Spread an even layer of this mixture over each of the dough rectangles.
-
Shape the Danishes: Starting from the long side, roll up each dough rectangle into a tight log. Pinch the edges to seal them, ensuring that your filling stays inside.
-
Form the Coils: Hold one end of each rolled dough log and loosely coil it around itself. This spiral shape will give your danishes a beautiful, distinctive look.
-
Prepare for Baking: Place each coiled danish on an ungreased baking sheet. Make sure they have enough space between them to expand while baking.
-
Add the Peach Preserves: Spoon about 2 teaspoons of peach preserves onto the top of each coiled danish. This will add a sweet, fruity touch that complements the cream cheese filling.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the danishes are golden brown and have puffed up nicely.
-
Prepare the Glaze: While the danishes are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, mix together the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, and just enough milk to reach your desired consistency. You want it to be smooth and drizzle-able.
-
Finish and Serve: Once the danishes are done baking and have cooled slightly, drizzle the prepared glaze over the top of each. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the perfect balance of sweet, creamy, and fruity flavors!
