A few of you mentioned that the filling overflowed, and I did some testing. I'd recommend replacing the lemon juice in this recipe with lemon zest. It will make the cream cheese mixture more stable and less likely to overflow while baking. In addition, it will taste even better because lemon zest has a more intense flavor than juice. Another way is to add a bit of cornstarch to the mixture.
Well shoot, there goes any thought of a diet that I had been thinking about. Looks like I am gonna make these this weekend. I plan on using blackberry or strawberry jam instead.
I used to eat those all the time as a kid. Watching this video brought back memories I had forgotten. It makes me feel like I should be watching 'Bewitched' in black-and-white. ✌️
Wow! Why didn't I think of this..DONT UNROLL. Greatest idea. There had to be a title that will get you more views. This is easiest most attractive recipe.
If it overflowed, get a spoon and eat that deliciousness. Best semi- homemade breakfast pastry I have seen. For those who want perfection and have time to make everything homemade, by all means no one is stopping you. Love this recipe, and will make it 1000+ more time.❤😂
I've made easy chocolate croissants by using the canned crescent rolls. On each triangle, place 1 chocolate bar square-there's usually 8 squares to a bar, roll up the triangle, pinch the ends to keep choc from oozing out during baking. Bake per pkg instructions. When done, let cool a few minutes, dust with powder sugar and enjoy!!
This is a great idea. My mom loves crescents. I stuff them with all kinds of things for her. Next time I will try your great idea I know she will love it. Thanks!💜
Oh my goodness! Cheese danishes are my favorite and for some reason they are so hard to find without going to a specialty bakery. I can’t wait to make these myself!! Thank you for posting this, I know it will be delicious ❤
I just made these and they did overflow. I didnt make them as big as i should have hsve. I need to really flatten the center more more. Will do that next time...they look bad but taste good!!
I tried them and I am a baker. They turned out like a little child got in my kitchen. I had to add more jam at the end since it all ran out onto the parchment paper, and yes, I zested lemon instead of juice. I hope they taste good since these are a gift to my father ❤🎉 ( too embarrassed to send a photo)😢
Interesting! I often eat cream cheese/lemon and sugar as a snack. After using half the cream cheese, I add lemon and sugar to the other half and leave it in its tub to snack on. Never thought to add it to a dough, thanks
Danish filling is usually made with regular cream cheese, so you can use it. Just keep in mind that it will take a bit longer to make and the filling will be denser than if you used whipped cream cheese.
Mine ended up looking like volcanoes, oops! They were still delicious though! I will buy another crescent roll package tomorrow to make another batch :)
Absolutely! Keep an eye on them as they bake and adjust the baking time by a few minutes depending on how golden brown they get. Pre-cooked apple pie filling would work, but raw filling might make the dough soggy.
omit the lemon. it won’t taste as good but it will be just fine! I personally don’t like lemon in mine, but I understand that some people prefer the slight zesty flavor.
