Very good. Although I cut the recipe in half for a 9x9 pan, I stuck with the measurements. Unlike other people, I did not think it was too much cream cheese. I wouldn't change the proportions - and next time- even though it is only my husband & myself, I'll make the whole batch! It went fast.

I woke up this morning craving danish. I had all of the ingredients on hand except lemon juice. I thought the suggestion of several previous reviewers to slice the crescent dough into rounds instead of making a top and bottom layer in a pan sounded interesting, so I sliced the crescent rolls into about 1/4 inch thick slices (dental floss makes this very easy!). I mixed up the filling and substituted 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract for the lemon juice (turns out that made it taste exactly like the danish filling I'm used to getting at the bakery!). I flattened down the center of each dough circle and filled the depression with a spoonful of filling and baked for 15 minutes. They came out great! Cute little mini danish. Half a recipe of filling is plenty for two tubes of crescent rolls. Don't overbake, they should just barely be golden or the danish will be dry.

Yummy, yummy, yummy!! I've shared this recipe many times after I've taken it to a potluck! I do cut the filling in half and I use powdered sugar on top rather than the glaze!!

This is a great dish! I also cut the filling in half and it was plenty. I did find that adding pie filling caused the top to get a bit mushy but otherwise, my husband and I went through 2 pans of this in the last week:) Thank you!

I served this for company and everyone loved it. Different from the typical breakfast fare. I used strawberry preserves and cut the cream cheese filling in half.

Excellent and easy. I followed other advice and used 1/2 the required cream cheese and sprinkled with powdered sugar rather than use the icing. Used lowfat cream cheese and sour cream and buttery flake crescent rolls. Great reviews from the board retreat members. Is definitely a keeper!

Very Good! Easy to make! I didn't halve the cream cheese filling and it was good - my family likes a lot of cream cheese, so it worked out well for us, but gage it according to your own tastes. I also doubled the amount of powdered sugar drizzle since my family likes a lot of icing! Excellent breakfast dish! I would recommend putting a variety of preserves on the side vs. inside the danish so everyone can choose what they'd like (with each serving!). A keeper! Thanks for the post!

I doubled the recipe, and ended up using about 60/40 of the mixture in each. The one with less filling definitely turned out yummier; the one with more filling was too soggy. Very delish for a potluck breakfast!

IF I ever make this again I will make MAJOR modifications. The filling had a good taste but there was too much. The icing was very rich and again there was too much. I won't press out the crescent roll dough and layer the filling on it. The dough will not fill a 9x13 pan but I knew that from prior experience with other recipes. I may do as another reviewer mentioned and slice the dough into coins and dollop with the filling. I may put the filling between two cresents and pinch the ends together. It was a simple recipe but the final dish wasn't what I thought it would be.

i took many of the suggestions into mind when i made this recipe. i actually used the exact amount of the cream cheese filling- but i made a "casserole version" and then i tried the " mini danish" cookie dough version--- with blueberry filling. i used reduce fat cresent rolls, and reduce fat cream cheese- it still came out rich and delicious. i would definitely lower the cooking time for the mini danish version to 10 min or so- they cook much faster since they are small- and the turned out a little "crispy". my husband personally would have liked more cream cheese filling in the casserole version. (contrary to all the other comments on the website) overall, very yummy and easy!

Wonderful recipe. Very similair to "Cream cheese bars II", but probably a bit better. And I do agree with the others. I suggest cutting the filling content in half.

This was a easy and good recipe. I made it to bring to work this morning. I only made half of the filling and spooned on some blueberry preserves before adding the top layer. Next time I may try it with a little more filling and preserves. I will be making this again and experimenting with different flavors of preserves! Thanks for the great recipe!

This is a fun and new breakfast dish. I made one following the recipe exactly, and a second one putting cherry pie filling and a little almond extract in the filling. Both came out yummy. Will make this often and try some other pie fillings.

Oh my! Oh my! This was a last-minute dish for me as I needed something to bring to a pot-luch brunch. It was the star dish! I must confess that I've never used store-bought dough before (I'm a from-scratch girl). It was a very easy recipe to make. I halved the filling as some suggested and found that I may use the full amount next time. But it certainly was delicious this way (and a bit healthier too!). I too found the dough to be a bit tricky to cover a 9*13 dish, but I managed to make it work. I realized that I had no lemon juice on hand (yikes!) and so I mixed up a tablespoon of really strong lemonade.

This is wonderful, I've been making it for several years using the flaky Pillsbury crescent rolls. The recipe as published here makes too much filling for a single batch. I use one package of cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp vanilla and 1 TBSP sour cream and it turns out perfect every time. In the frosting, I use half & half instead of milk and add 1/4 tsp almond flavoring. You'd never know this danish wasn't made in a fine bakery. I am asked for the recipe every time I make it.

What a delicious treat this was for a quick breakfast when we had overnight company. I made just half the recipe and added boysonberry jam to the filling before putting the crust on top. I will definitely make this many times as it is the easiest breakfast treat I've made.
