How to Make Cherry Cheese Danish

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese, ¾ cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg white until smooth and creamy.
  3. Unroll one can (8 oz) of refrigerated crescent roll dough and gently press the seams together to form a large rectangle.
  4. Place the dough rectangle in the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  5. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough.
  6. Pour one (21 ounce) can of cherry pie filling over the cream cheese mixture.
  7. Unroll the second can (8 oz) of crescent roll dough and press the seams together to form a large rectangle.
  8. Place the second layer of dough over the cherry filling.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. While the danish is cooling, prepare the glaze: whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of milk until smooth and pourable. Add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  12. Once the danish is completely cool, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top.
