CHERRY CHEESE DANISH



Cherry Cheese Danish image

This is an awesome dessert...reminds me of cherry-topped cheesecake, but MUCH easier to make:) Every time I take this dessert to a party, I ALWAYS get asked for the recipe (I just take a few copies with me/lol). I also like it with blueberry pie filling, but the fam. likes cherry, so that's usually what I use.

CHERRY CREAM CHEESE DANISH



Cherry Cream Cheese Danish image

I have baked the night before and then warmed in the oven to serve. It will microwave well to warm left over servings. You could also make 4 loaves if you wish to share as gifts. This is one of the goodies that I am always asked to bring.

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 can(s) extra cherries -cherry pie filling (3 cans if you can't find the extra cherry
2-8oz pkg cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp vanilla
1 c powdered sugar
4 can(s) 8 count crossiant rolls

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 425*. Pour cherry pie filling into a colander and with a spatuala, gently spoon around to remove as much of the gel as possible. Set aside.
  • 2. Beat the softened cream cheese with the vanilla. Gently add the powdered sugar a bit at a time to make the mixture to the consistancy of a thick frosting. You may use a little less than the cup or a little more.
  • 3. Use a LARGE nonstick cookie sheet or foil-lined sheet as this will help to transfer to a serving platter. You can make one very long loaf but two are easier to transfer to serving platters. Separate the cans of the crossiants one at at time.Lay out two cans of the crossiants with the fat side to the middle, pinching the seams together. ^v^v^v^v. Then come back with the next two cans and cover the openings. Gently use your hands or a rolling pin to roll the center for about a 3" portion to make sure there are no openings on the bottom surface.
  • 4. In the center of the dough, spoon the cream cheese mixture. Spoon the drained cherries on top of the cream cheese.
  • 5. Pull the dough up over the mixture, cross-crossing as you go, pinching the seams and covering all the mixture. If there are a few openings near the top, it won't matter. Place in the oven on the center rack to bake. I start checking the loaves at about 30 minutes for doneness but it normally takes about 45 minutes. It will depend on the moisture in the air. When the Loaf is nicely browned, all the dough should be done.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cherries. Fresh cherries will give your Danish the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen cherries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out. Chilling the dough will make it easier to roll out and will help prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough. A sharp knife will give you clean, even cuts.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Leave some space between the Danishes so that they can rise and bake evenly.
  • Bake the Danishes until they are golden brown. The Danishes are done baking when they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the Danishes cool before serving. Let the Danishes cool for a few minutes before serving so that the filling can set.

Conclusion:

Cherry Cheese Danish is a delicious and easy-to-make pastry that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With a flaky crust, sweet cherry filling, and creamy cheese filling, these Danishes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try!
