So, I’m a HUGE fan of making delicious recipes that are EASY.
This is one of those recipes!
It never ceases to amaze me all the things that you can do with a can of crescent rolls!!
 Who isn’t a cheese danish LOVER??
Everyone I know just adores them!
Next time. I was thinking of maybe adding strawberry cream cheese!
Maybe even chive cream cheese and top with bacon?!
I may be crazy, but I think it would be fantastic! 😀
You’re Welcome my Cheese Danish Lovers out there! 😉
So easy and you can use any topping you like! Blueberries, cherries, pineapple, apple!

Make these with strawberry cream cheese—-so good for a breakfast “sweet” or any time!!!
Moxy says
Sounds delicious!!!!!!!
Sherry Ludvik says
The recipe calls for “thick slices” but does not say how many cuts to make
Carol says
Do you have a recipe for the chive Danish, that sounds so good. thank you.
Laura says
Want to make thanksgiving morning
carol says
It was a great des to make
kathleen norton says
your recipes are awesome, thank you for sharing them.
Katherine says
Going to try these!!
Pam says
OMG, I usually think ok I can do that. And never do. But I’m going to do this! I don’t even have to go shopping.
Johnnie McNew says
I want to try this recipe for cream cheese crecent rolls !
Karen says
Pillsbury now has crescent dough sheets. This would work well with recipe and lots of others using the rolls.
Sharzi says
I’ve made these several times and love them! The only suggestion I have is that the cheese is a bit overwhelming so I use half what it calls for and it’s just right. Also, I wouldn’t just save these for a holiday… they’re good any time!
Karen says
I have made these for years. I use one half teaspoon of lemon juice in my Cream Cheese. I roll out my dough into one large rectangle spread the cheese and bring both long sides to the middle and slice into 10 or 12 strips
Diana Luna says
They look delicious I can’t wait to try the recipe.
Jim Hancock says
I like to cook so I look at all resources for idea.
Jennifer says
Oh Wow! I am making this with a twist of cranberry (craisins) for Thanksgiving!
Tracey says
Is that granulated white sugar or confectionary sugar? Thanks!
Lisa M. says
white sugar 🙂
Heather S. says
I think this a a great idea! I am going to try using
canned biscuits that are flaky for a more light crust
dan glanowski says
With the chive cream cheese and bacon, might want to add just a bit of maple syrup. Either to the cream cheese or as a drizzle to compliment the bacon.
Marcia says
I would love ot make these,what about a picture of how the 2 crescent rolls are suppose to look..lol sometimes I think I am visual challenged..:)
thank you
janet pike says
I don’t understand either!
Tammie says
i agreee
Emily Clark says
I’m going to try this using Puff Pastry and see how it turns outs. I tend not to like things that use crescent rolls as the base.
Lana says
You can substitute blueberry, Apple and cherry pie filling for the cream cheese or half cream cheese half pie filling. Yummy!
nancygrossman says
I can’t use sugar so how about only cream cheese and after put a,dollop of sugar free preserve.
Gonna try tonight
Connie says
Can I use puff pastry?
Margaret Davis says
Look wonderful I can hardly wait to try them.
Lisa says
A how to video would be great and appreciated!
Tammie says
i agreee
Jim says
How much butter is 2 TB?
Country Baker says
2TB =2Tablespoons 2TBSP
Leslie Archer says
Jim… 2 TB is 2 Tablespoons. (2 T. is also Tablespoons… 2 t. is teaspoons)
Laurie says
Jim, TB is abbreviated for tablespoon. You will oftentimes see TB and tb. The tb would be teaspoon.
Sandy says
Laurie, tb would still be TaBlespoon, not Teaspoon. Usually tsp = teaspoon and tbsp = tablespoon whether in upper case or lower case. Your post above may have been a typo. 🙂
Chris says
2 TB butter is a tad less than 30 grams
Annette Horn says
I make this a lot in a baking dish. Place one can of the crescents in the bottom. Add the filling (I also add 1 egg) and then add another sheet of crescents on top and bake. It’s delicious! I might try like this because they are so pretty for Christmas morning after I get home from work 🙂
Linda Holmer-Krupp says
I added apple pie filling on top of the cream cheese filling on one pan and on the second pan I added cherry pie filling (made my own apple and cherry pie filling but canned will work too) fantastic everyone like it better than with just cream cheese filling
Michelle Culton says
I’m going to try these using pineapple cream cheese. And raspberry jam on top of the original recipe would be good too.
Will S. says
I’m going to try this with 1/2 the cheese and topped with cherry or blueberry pie filling. 🙂
Sandra Akridge says
Put orange flavor in cream cheese filling and dried cranberries on the dough before you roll up. Orange cranberry Danish !
Pat says
I plan to try these very soon. They look fabulous.
Christine Ivy says
You could also add a couple teaspoons of preserves such as raspberry or peach. Yummy!
birgit says
do you add jam or pie filling before or after baking
marge says
Never mind, I reread the directions and saw where to use it. Sorry!
shirley says
after the 8 squares you then say rectangles does that mean you put 2 of the squares together making 4 rectangles ?
Trish says
Yummy! I think I will try reducing the amount of cream cheese mixture and adding some cherry or blueberry pie filling.
marianne k horton says
I can’t wait to see whats next.
Sophia,M.,McConnery says
Interesting.Never thought to use crescent rolls!
Sherri McArdle says
Oh I am so making these and soon; then at Christmas when the family is all here.
Bunny Griffon says
Love crescents. Can’t wait to try these.
Mindy says
Love these!!
Sandy says
Can they be made the day ahead and baked in the morning?
Wilba Wells says
I made 4 of these. 1 can of rolls and half of the other ingredients. They were awesome. Much better than the bought ones.
DeeW says
Love…Love it. Easy and Delicious!!! I added lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture and lemon and vanilla extract to the glaze. 5 Stars
Clare says
I delight in, result in I discovered exactly what I was having a look for. You have ended my 4 day lengthy hunt! God Bless you man. Have a great day. Bye
AorenzoCifs says

Linda says
How many Danish should the two packs of rolls make, I don’t know how thick to cut them.
Betsy says
How many does 2 pkgs of crescent rolls make just so I have some idea of how thick to cut them. Thank you.
KATHERYN says
How many does this make? Even though this question has already been asked, it was never answered so still trying to find out how many it makes.
Cruella says
I have the same question.
highlevel-binaryclub11.com says
If you don t need so many danishes, just use one tube of crescent rolls and save the leftover cream cheese filling for another time.
Janet Simons says
I really love cheese Danish will definitely make these and all the suggested variations. Thanks
