EASY RASPBERRY CREAM CHEESE DANISH/COFFEE CAKE/PIE



Easy Raspberry Cream Cheese Danish/Coffee Cake/Pie image

On our way home, I asked my husband to just quickly stop at the store for milk. While there, he started to describe a dessert that he wanted me to make, but his description was, let's just say, lacking. Was it a Danish? Coffee Cake? Pie? Sweet Roll? I didn't know what he was talking about. One hour later, we emerged with a bag...

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 loaf frozen sweet dough, thawed but cold (this is usually found near the frozen ready to bake cinnamon rolls.)
1 12 oz. can solo brand raspberry filling (or any flavor you prefer)
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 can pillsbury creamy supreme classic white frosting (or your own glaze)
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. *Please Note: Prep time does not include defrosting dough or rise times. Night before, place frozen bread loaf in a large ziplock bag with the inside of the bag sprayed with Pam. Place in fridge overnight.
  • 2. Mix softened cream cheese, vanilla and powdered sugar with hand mixer until light and fluffy. Set aside.
  • 3. Roll out bread dough between 2 pieces of lightly sprayed parchment paper to form a 12x16 rectangle. Remove top parchment leaving bottom parchment in place. (By leaving this, I have found it is much easier to get it transferred to the cookie sheet.) Cover loosely with plastic wrap lightly sprayed with Pam and let rest for 10-15 minutes.
  • 4. Remove plastic wrap. On long sides, slice dough every 1 1/2" toward center leaving 5" wide center area uncut. (see photo) Spread raspberry filling in a 4" strip down center of dough leaving 1/2" plain before reaching side cuts. Also leave 1 1/2" at either end plain. Dot with cream cheese mixture.
  • 5. Fold short ends over filling at either end. Then, alternating sides, fold strips over top of dough at slight angle. (see photo) Transfer pastry on parchment paper to cookie sheet. Cover loosely with sprayed plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
  • 6. Remove plastic wrap and bake at 350 degrees for 18-25 minutes. Tent loosely if browning too quickly. (I use a very hot gas oven and oven temps vary, so watch closely.)
  • 7. When done, remove from oven. Brush with a little melted butter. Microwave canned frosting until thinned. Drizzle desired amount over pastry. Sprinkle with chopped nuts, if desired. ( I find that this type of frosting works just as well as homemade powdered sugar glaze, setting up beautifully.)
  • 8. Serving Suggestion: Cut into 1 1/2-2" strips. Drizzle pastry and plate with additional glaze, powdered sugar and/or a little thinned raspberry jam warmed in microwave. (see pics)

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pkg yellow cake mix
1 c butter or margarine, softened
2 c confectioners' sugar
1 pkg cream cheese, softened 8 oz
1 can(s) cherry pie filling

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. In a large bowl, combine dry cake mix and butter. Batter will be stiff. Spread in the bottom of a 13x9 pan.
  • 3. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese and confectioners' sugar. Mix until smooth. Pour over cake mix layer.
  • 4. Spread pie filling over cream cheese mixture.
  • 5. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until cream cheese is set. Check every 5 minutes after 30 minutes.
  • 6. Note: Sometimes I use 2 cans of pie filling.
  • 7. Different flavor cake mixes and pie filling can be used for a different taste. Example: Use blueberry filling instead of cherry pie filling. Peach filling instead of cherry pie filling. Chocolate cake mix and cherry pie filling. Spice cake mix with apple pie filling. Lemon cake mix and lemon pie filling.

Tips:

  • Using a sharp knife or kitchen shears to cut the dough will help prevent it from tearing.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it is easy to handle.
  • To make the cream cheese filling, be sure to use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
  • If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a spoon to spread the egg wash on the dough.
  • Bake the cheese Danish until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set, about 30-35 minutes.
  • Allow the cheese Danish to cool slightly before serving.

The cheese Danish is a delicious and versatile pastry that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert.
