Cherry Cream Cheese Danish’s
(2) 8 oz. Croissants
(1) 8 oz. Cream Cheese
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 teaspoon Almond
1/2 Cup Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
(1) 15 oz. Cherry Pie Filling
Preheat oven to 350
In a mixing bowl cream together the cream cheese, vanilla and almond extract, sugar and cinnamon until smooth.
Open each croissant package DO NOT roll out. Keeping the dough in a “log” cut 8 pieces from each package. Starting in the center of each piece, flatten out into a disc shape. Continue doing this with all 16 pieces of dough. Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper that has been lightly sprayed with non stick cooking spray. Place each dough disk onto the sheet. Evenly divide and spread the cream cheese mixture onto each piece of dough. Top with a spoonful of cherry pie filling.
Bake for 13-15 minutes. Cool and then I like to dust with a little powdered sugar.
Simply Sweet,
