These Easy Homemade Cream Cheese Danishes are so yummy and so easy! You start with refrigerated crescent rolls so there’s no flour and all of that to measure out and make a mess with. The only thing you need to make is the filling which is so simple. Oh, and a yummy glaze to go on top for an added bonus!

Just roll the dough, coil it up, and fill it. Bake and dig in. See? Totally easy and they’re a perfect weekend breakfast treat!

Ingredients:

• 2 packages Crescent Rolls
• 1 8oz package Cream Cheese, softened
• ½ cup sugar, divided

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

• On a lined cookie sheet, unroll your crescent rolls into 8 rectangles, pinching the seams together.
• Spread ½ tbsp of butter and ½ tbsp of sugar over each crescent roll.
• Rolling long ways, roll the crescent rolls into ropes, and then coil each crescent roll. (Roll and coil pictures above.)
