Description
A delicious blackberry danish made with cream cheese and crescent rolls, perfect for dessert or a sweet breakfast treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 Tablespoon flour
- 1 tube (8 ounces) Pillsbury Crescent rolls (or crescent roll sheet)
- 21 ounces blackberry pie filling
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons heavy cream
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉.
- In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and flour. Set aside.
- Open crescent roll dough and unroll, leaving crescents all together in one large rectangle.
- On an ungreased baking sheet, lay the crescent roll rectangle. The dough should be almost the entire length of a half sheet pan. (If you’re not using a crescent roll sheet, be sure to press edges together to even out edges and seal any holes.)
- Cut ½ inch diagonal strips up each side of the dough.
- Carefully spread cream cheese filling down the center of the dough to be about 2-3 inches wide. Top with blackberry pie filling or fresh blackberries (or both). You may not need to use the whole can, just enough to cover it well.
- Fold ½ inch dough pieces up over filling alternating sides to get a braided pattern. You may have excess dough once you reach the end of the danish, so fold them in as best as you can.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until filling is set and crescent dough is golden in color. Cool before removing from baking sheet.
- Once danish has cooled, remove to serving platter.
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream to create icing.
- You may need to add more cream to get the desired consistency. Drizzle icing over danish. Cut into pieces and serve.
Notes
- This danish can be served warm or at room temperature.
- For a sweeter icing, add more powdered sugar.
- Fresh blackberries can be substituted with other berries of choice.
