Very, very easy and they turned out so cute! (Cute? Is food supposed to be cute? Well, these are!) I think next time I will put the crescent dough in the freezer for a few minutes after unwrapping it, to firm it up and make it a bit easier to slice, especially on a warm day. I also know now to use an electric mixer for the cream cheese blend; doing it by hand wasn't enough to really whip it up and smooth out the sugar grains (though it still tasted great!). Also be sure to make pretty good size indentions; I had a few that were too shallow and the filling slipped off when the dough rose during baking. (Oh rats, had to just eat those myself when they came out! ;o) I did have filling left over, much to my daughters' delight, so you might even be able to spread the filling out across 2-1/2 or 3 cans of dough. These were great in spite of me, lol, and are definitely going in my list of quick and tasty treats for brunch, coffee hour, overnight guests, holiday trays, or just 'cause. Can't wait to try them with fruit filling!

I knew this was going to be a 5-star review when I tasted the cream cheese filling and wanted to eat the entire bowl right then. I made the filling the night before and refrigerated it until I made the danish in the morning. I got exactly 40 mini danish and used all of the filling. For the 2nd batch of danish, after they were done cooking, I topped them with about 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam and then iced them. I'm going to make these again real soon.

This is definitely a ten-star recipe! I have to say that I made a few changes, but it was because I realized (last minute) that I didn't have two of the filling ingredients (I know better than that!) (rolling eyes). At any rate, I realized I didn't have any lemon juice, so I subbed the one teaspoon lemon juice with 1/2 teaspoon lime juice. I also didn't have the sour cream, so I just wound up omitting it, as it was only 1 teaspoon. Btw, I mixed the filling with my KitchenAid, using the blade. To fill the rolls, I gently pushed about 1/3 of the middle of each roll down with my fingertip, then put a spoonful of filling in each. I baked them for 20 minutes, then added a spoonful of canned apple pie filling (chopped a bit to make smaller pieces). I then drizzled the glaze over (thinned with a bit of milk so it would drizzle) the top of all. I also made some with just the cream cheese. They were all a huuuuuuuge hit! In hindsight, I should have frozen the dough just a bit, but I was in a hurry. I would like to try this with peach filling, cherry filling, and a berry filling. Thank you, ms_bold, for an excellent recipe that I will make again and again. PS: I was happy with the lime flavoring and minus the sour cream, but would like to try the recipe as originally stated. Therefore, I'll just HAVE to make these again and try them as written. Darn. :D

Made these for our Easter family brunch and they were a big hit. They will become a staple around here. Five stars all the way - ease of preparation, very pretty presentation, and very tasty. It is a good idea to firm up the crescent rolls a bit in the freezer for easier slicing. Thanks so much for posting this amazing recipe!

These were a great addition to our Easter Sunday brunch yesterday! I agree with the previous reviewer that you could get another cans' worth of these little tasty treats with the amount of filling the recipe makes. I did make a batch with some canned apple pie filling that I pureed first to get the apple chunks smaller and they were absolutely delicious! Also, freezing the dough for about a 1/2 hour made cutting it much more easy. This is a define "keeper" recipe for a brunch or as a dessert for kids. We throw quite a few parties over the summer and I'm always looking for some type of small dessert that everyone will like. Thanks again for a great, easy, tasty, and I agree "cute" recipe!

Yes, "cute" food at its finest! I made these for a ladies brunch and they were a real hit. I used about 2 1/2 cans of crescent rolls (the filling dictated that amount) and baked for about 12 minutes in my oven. I only used 1/3c. sugar, because I like my cream cheese a little on the sour side - just personal preference - and the next time I might use canned cherry pie filling. These are easy to make, make a great presentation, and a big thank-you for posting the recipe!

These were easy to make and very tasty. I put a spoon of cherry pie filling on each danish. I will make them again, but next time, I will only make a half recipe of the cream cheese mixture as I have half left over in my fridge. Also, I think it would be a good idea to make the cream cheese filling ahead of time so it can chill and firm up a bit. Still in all, the recipe is a great concept, quick to prepare, and very tasty. Is there anything better than to have something fresh out of the oven for your breakfast ??

Just add me to the list of raves! These are so neat and easy to make. I did have a bit of trouble slicing them and then remembered my trick I have for cutting cinimon dough buns. I use a string. That way they don't get all smooshed when slicing.

These were wonderful tasting little treats. I followed your recipe exactly as written, I didn't change a thing. I took the advice of another reviewer and used my electric mixer to beat the cream cheese mixture and it turned out perfect. I also put the crescent dough in the freezer for alittle while to firm it up for easier slicing. We loved the taste of these, also the fact that they couldn't be easier to make!!!! Thanks ms__bold for a great recipe.

I only used 1 can of dough tonight, and I have enough of the filling and frosting left to use up the remaining can of dough tomorrow. Yummy! I made deep indentations in the dough, and filled each danish with about 1/2 a tablespoon of filling. (I thought more than that might make the filling overflow while baking.) Next time I'll probably top the cream cheese filling with a blob of raspberry jam, as I think cream cheese and raspberry go together really nicely! These little delicacies are so pretty and dainty. Thanks for another winner, ms_bold!
