Let’s learn how to make crescent cheese danishes! You will only need 9 ingredients. Mainly, you will need crescent roll tubes for the base crust, filling and glaze. It is optional to add flavoured filling on top. You can use strawberries or cherries. You are free. Everything is prepared within 10 minutes. Then, you place the danishes in the oven to bake for less than 20 minutes and voila your crescent cheese danishes are aready.

 

The texture of these danishes is very fluffy; especially with the crescent rolls’ dough. When it is baked, it is crispy and puffy. We make a hole in the slices of the crescent rolls before baking them to make room for the filling. The latter makes the danishes very creamy; giving them a chessecake-y texture and taste. We chose a basic vanilla taste with a teaspoon of lemon juice for the filling in order to add any flavour filling on top. These creamy danishes can basically go with everything you serve them with.

 

This treat makes up a great serving for dessert, for breakfast or as a snack with your favourite drink. Some people even like to make them on a Christmas morning. Your loved ones are going to go crazy for them. For the nutritional facts, you can find more details about that on the table in the last section of our article. We also recommend that you keep this creamy treat in the fridge especially in hot weather. For serving ideas, check below.
