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...

Categories     Other Breakfast

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)

Just Right Easy Cheese Cake image

I have finally found a balance between the grainy and the creamy part of a cheese cake and it is so easy using a food processor!

Provided by baezus

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons soft margarine or 6 tablespoons butter, cut into small chunks
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
24 ounces cream cheese, cut in chunks
8 ounces ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • For the crust: (If you don't have prepared graham crumbs: use about 18 graham crackers and and process until coarse crumbs are formed). Add remaining crust ingredients: margarine/butter, sugar(s), and cinnamon and process until blended, approximately 5 to 6 seconds. Press into a sprayed 10-inch springform pan. Wipe bowl and blade with paper towels.
  • For the filling: Process cheeses with sugar until blended, about 15 seconds. Add eggs and vanilla extract. Process until smooth and creamy, approximately 20 to 30 seconds. Pour over crust.
  • Place a pie plate half-filled with water on the lowest rack of oven. Place cheesecake on the middle rack. Bake for approximately 50 to 60 minutes. When done, edges will be set but center will jiggle slightly. Turn off heat and let cheesecake cool in oven with door partly open for about 1 hour. It will firm up during this time.
  • Refrigerate and chill approximately 3-4 hours.
  • Variations: You can substitute chocolate or vanilla wafers in the crust. You can use all granulated white sugar or all brown sugar in the crust. You can substitute 4 egg whites for 2 of the eggs in the filling. You can substitute 2 Tbs. of lemon juice for the vanilla in the filling. Fresh berries is our favorite topping. For mini cheese cakes: Omit crust. Line muffin tins with 24 paper liners. Place a vanilla wafer in each liner. Top with cheesecake mixture. Bake in preheated 360 degree oven for approximately 12 minutes, until set. Refrigerate. You can top each with fresh berries or spoonful of thick jam.
