Easy Crescent Roll Danish




Remember this post? I said I bought packs of the Pillsbury Crescent Roll Dough Sheet for 2/1.00 at the local discount grocery store. Last time I made 15 Minute Garlic Cheese Twists and I said I would share another recipe using these dough sheets. 

This isn't exactly a danish, but close enough. If you need a quick and easy dessert or something special for a breakfast or brunch, this fits the bill.

I've based my recipe on this one at Pillsbury.


Mix softened cream cheese, vanilla and sugar together.



Roll out one package of crescent roll dough.



Place cream cheese filling mixture in the middle of crescent roll dough and fold in sides to cover up the edge of the cream cheese mixture.

NOTE: Next time I make this, I would double the cream cheese mixture ingredients amounts to make a thicker layer of cream cheese.


Mix together some sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on crust. 


I made a raspberry sauce using this recipe, but it was a little too thin for this recipe, so I would just use your favorite seedless jam. 



Bake according to package directions, or until dough is golden brown.




Make a quick icing with powdered sugar and milk and drizzle over the top after the danish has slightly cooled.


Serve immediately, and enjoy!

Easy Crescent Roll Danish
(I've adjusted these measurements to be the doubled amount for the cream cheese recipe. As I said above, This needed a thicker cream cheese filling layer.)

1 package of cream cheese softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 package crescent roll dough sheet
2 TB Sugar
1 TB Cinnamon
Seedless Jam or sauce of your choice (I used raspberry)
3/4 cup confectioners sugar
2 TB milk

Mix together cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, and vanilla. Spread out crescent roll dough sheet and spread cream cheese filling in middle of dough. Fold sides of dough in to just cover the edges of the cream cheese. 
Mix together sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on crust. 
Spread sauce and jam on top of cream cheese.
Bake according to package directions on back of crescent roll dough sheet. 
Mix together confectioners sugar and milk and drizzle over top of danish, and serve immediately.

My $100 Kitchen Cabinet Makeover!

I'm so excited to share today's post. It's something I've been working on for about 2 months, on and off. But it is finished and so today I'm sharing how we renovated our kitchen cabinets for about $100. When we bought our house in a little over a year ago, I fell in love with the kitchen just by the listings photos. UPDATE!!! Check out this  post to see how I also stained my island! It was HUGE and there was about a billion cabinets. The kitchen in our old house was a pretty good size also and I knew I would not be content with a smaller kitchen. So these pictures sold me. We bought the house and moved in and I lived with the kitchen for awhile but the cabinet color was really bugging me. I liked the counter tops well enough but they clashed with the cabinets. We did not have the money to replace all those cabinets so the next decision was to either paint or stain them. I stumbled upon General Finishes Gel Stain and thought the id...

$5 Laundry "Room" Update

I don't have a laundry room. I have a laundry closet right off the kitchen. I actually love it there because it is so convenient to keep laundry going through out the day. I wish it was a little bigger and I have future plans down the road, but for now I have to keep it organized or there is just not enough room for it all! Here was the state of my closet before. Not too bad, but there were things in there that shouldn't be in there (a sprinkler??) and it just was cluttered. Not to mention plain and boring. I think I've mentioned before on here how much I love Dollar Tree. If not, I'll say it now. I love Dollar Tree! They have some of the cutest stuff! So I went there today to find some things to organize this with. Here's what I came up with. I bought the 3 aqua colored baskets today and the green and gray tray I was already using.  I wiped everything down and got to work. This is what it looks like now. The two hanging ...

My Frugal Cottage/Farmhouse Decor and how YOU can get it.

I have been on a decorating spree lately. I just finished my cabinets ( see them in this post here !) and so I've been changing things up a little bit. Plus spring is almost here and so I've been getting my flowers out for it! I also love to see how inexpensively I can decorate while still looking nice. I love the stuff from Pottery Barn, Magnolia Market, etc. but here on THIS blog, I'm on a budget! My favorite stores are thrift stores, specifically the Goodwill or Goodwill Outlet and stores like Ross, Homegoods and Michaels. And of course, the Dollar Tree! I try to make a lot of my stuff, or redo it so it's more my style. I've tried to include links to some of the stuff I've bought. None of these links are affiliate links, they are just there to help you out! I've already shared my "mantle"  already but I had to include it in this post. I made the star, my husband made the plaque, I covered the books and decorated the vase. Everythin...
