Ingredients
Blueberry Filling
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 5 T. cornstarch
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
Cream Cheese Filling
- 16 oz. cream cheese room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 rolls refrigerated crescent rolls (8 oz. each)
- 2 T. granulated sugar for garnish
Instructions
Blueberry Filling
- In a medium saucepan, add in the sugar and cornstarch. Whisk until incorporated. This will help prevent lumps.
- Whisk in the lemon juice and the fresh blueberries. Mash the blueberries in the saucepan once the heat softens them a bit.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat and let boil for 5 minutes until thick, stirring constantly. The filling will become clear rather than milky looking.
- Place in a bowl and cover. Chill in the fridge.
Cream Cheese Filling
- In a large bowl, add in the cream cheese and sugar. Beat on medium until creamy and the sugar is incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla. Continue to beat until smooth. Set aside.
Assemble
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Roll out the first can of crescent rolls into the bottom of the greased pan. Pinch together any holes and the dotted lines.
- Add the cream cheese mixture on top of the crescent rolls. Spread evenly.
- Add the blueberry filling on top of the cream cheese mixture. Spread evenly.
- Unroll the 2nd can of crescent rolls on top of the blueberry filling. Carefully adjust it so it's centered. The dotted lines won't need to be pinched together.
- Spray the top of the crescent rolls with a coat of non-stick cooking spray.
- Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of sugar on top of the crescent roll.
- Place into the oven and bake for 31 - 35 minutes until golden brown. The bottom should have a golden color as well.
- Place into the fridge until chilled. Cut and serve.
- Place the leftovers back into the fridge. It's best if eaten in 2 days.
Notes
- If you're experiencing an underbaked bottom crust, try baking the danish for an additional 8 to 10 minutes. I haven't tested this, but you can also par-bake the bottom crust for 1o - 15 minutes before adding the cream cheese filling. Keep an eye on it to make sure the dough doesn't shrink while it's in the oven baking.
