Easy Blackberry Cream Cheese Danish
Description
Easy Blackberry Cream Cheese Danish uses a tube of crescent roll dough as the base, layered with a luscious mixture of softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and flour that helps stabilize the filling. Fresh blackberries crown the center of the danish, offering bursts of tartness against the sweet and creamy cheese. The dough is cut into strips along both sides, then those strips are folded in an alternating braided pattern over the filling, which creates an appealing, rustic shape. Baking until golden brown ensures a crisp, buttery crust with a tender interior where the filling sets.
Once cooled, the danish is finished with a simple icing made from powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. This glaze adds a smooth, sweet note that balances the cream cheese and fruit without overpowering. The danish can be served sliced for breakfast, brunch, or as a dessert. It is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored briefly and warmed gently before serving.
Ingredients
- 1 tube crescent rolls Pillsbury brand
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup blackberry fresh
for the icing-
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, flour and vanilla. Set aside.
- Pop open crescent roll dough and unroll, leaving crescents in rectangles. On an ungreased baking sheet or silpat, lay the crescent roll rectangles together, lining them up width wise. Dough should be almost the entire length of a half sheet pan.Press edges together to even out edges and seal any holes. Cut 1/2 inch diagonal strips up each side of the dough.
- Carefully spread cream cheese filling down the center of the dough to be about 2-3 inches wide. Top with fresh blackberries.
- Fold 1/2 inch dough pieces up over filling alternating sides to get a braided pattern. You may have excess dough once you reach the end of the danish, so fold them in as best as you can.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until filling is set and crescent dough is golden in color. Cool before removing from baking sheet.Once danish has cooled, remove to serving platter.
- In a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar, vanilla and cream to create icing. You may need to add more cream to get the desired consistency. Drizzle icing over danish. Cut into pieces and serve.
