Easiest Strawberry Cream Cheese Danish
July 29, 2011 in breakfast
You guys are not even going to believe this recipe. Seriously. It’s the easiest thing in the world and I guarantee whoever you make it for is going to go crazy. I made it one night thinking we could have it for breakfast. Yeah. Didn’t last that long.
Hot out of the oven, this tastes just like the stuffed French toast from IHOP (which I’m obsessed with) but once it’s cooled, it tastes like a traditional cheese danish. I can’t pick a favorite way to eat it – both are delicious!
My favorite thing about this recipe is that I almost always have everything that is needed on hand so it’s really easy to whip up in the mornings (or at night if your family won’t eat it all!).

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan.
- To make strawberry sauce, combined strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water in a saucepan over low heat. Allow the strawberries to soften and cook down until they’re juicy. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- To assemble the danish, line the bottom of the greased pan with 1 tube of crescent roll dough. Pinch all the seams together to seal.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and sour cream together until combined. Spread this mixture over the tube of crescent rolls you just put in the pan. Spread the strawberry sauce over top. Take the 2nd tube of crescent rolls and place it on top (no need to pinch the seams).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 – 30 minutes, or until crescent rolls are puffed and golden.
- To make glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and heavy cream. Once the danish has cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze on top.
wow sounds so simple, but really good. I’ll have to make these for work one day when it’s time for me to bring in breakfast.
Oh man these look delicious! I am totally going to have to break down and make these for the weekend!
MMm I would’ve never thought making a danish was so simple!
This sound delicious. I bet it will work with pie fillings or fruit jams too!
Lordy girl, every time I look at one of your recipes I gain 5 pounds!! Quit it! lol I definitely have to try this one … I’m having company in Sept for the “Trail of Tears” m/c ride. I bet they’ll love when I make this! By the way, congrats on your new baby! I don’t know how you manage. (I think it’s because you have a good husband :) Love you, Auntie Dee
I’m going along with Aunt Dee and Pam. These sound and look wonderful. I’m planning on making them for Sunday brunch. Just got to get out there and buy some strawberries. I’m a proud g-grandma and little Liam is a beauty. So happy you and baby are fine. Love you, MawMaw
This looks so tasty! And so much better than those prepackaged ones!
Easy and delicious works for me! My husband loves cream cheese and jelly so I think he would adore these!

I love making danish with crescent roll dough! Easy and delicious. Yours looks sooo good.
why doesn’t my mom never make things as this one?!?!
Oh that looks absolutely delightful, YUM <3 I love cream cheese danishes (I think my favourite might be cherry or something) and for awhile, we actually had cresent roll dough in our kitchen on a consistent basis but not anymore. This is going to compel me to go out and buy some, lol.
