Description
Peach Cream Cheese Crescent Danishes are a delightful treat that combines the sweetness of peaches with the creamy richness of cream cheese, all wrapped in flaky crescent dough.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can of crescent roll dough
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for sprinkling)
- Flour for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Peel and slice the fresh peaches, then toss them with the remaining tablespoon of sugar and optional ground cinnamon.
- Open the can of crescent dough and unroll it onto a lightly floured surface, separating the dough into triangles.
- Spread a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture at the wide end of each triangle and top with a few slices of the sugared peaches. Roll the dough towards the pointed end to form a crescent shape.
- Brush the tops of the danishes with the beaten egg for a golden color.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up, then let cool slightly on a wire rack.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- Reheat in the microwave or oven for best results.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free crescent roll dough.
- For a vegan option, substitute cream cheese with a plant-based alternative and use a flax egg.
