Great idea but i would add less sugar. I followed the recipe to a T but it was way too sweet for my liking.

I've never had a danish before, so I didn't have anything to rate this recipe against. I sliced the dough in 1/4 inch slices and filled them with either the cream cheese mixture or chopped apples (with sugar, cinnamon, chopped walnuts). My husband, who requested danishes, said that while they were good- real danishes taste different.

I added homemade blueberry pie filling on top of the cream cheese. It was A LOT of cream cheese, probably too much to have added another filling. So far the upper crust seems too moist still but the outside is on the verge of being overdone, could be the juices from the blueberries. The icing also needs a little more milk. I will update tomorrow when my husbands unit tries it! Ok, the 119th Artillery had it gone in seconds, now I will have to make it again so I can try it, which will happen soon!!

This was delicious!! I lowered the sugar to 1/2 cup per other reviews. Also, reading reviews I was torn into only using 1 package of cream cheese versus the 2 that it called for. So I split the difference and used 1-1/2 pkgs. I don't think there's any problem at all in using the 2. I also spread some raspberry preserves on it. Yum!! Be sure to pinch/seal all the seams together after putting the top on. Any slight cracks and the filling will ooze out. AND the prep time is much more than 10 minutes. Will make this again. Thanks Natalie!

TOO MUCH FILLING! Word of warning, folks... 16oz of soft cheese is two-thirds of an entire 9-inch cheesecake! This is a neat idea to use ready-bake crescent rolls though. It doesn't matter what kind of cheese you use - regular cream, ricotta, cottage, marscarpone or any combo thereof. (Heck, cheddar and ham would be good!) I halved it using 4oz of cottage & 4oz cream cheeses, and there was still way too much filling for it to be a "danish". It was even more so when I added some raspberry jam. Tasty, but too much! A good quickie if you're really craving some freshly baked goods or need something to bring to a potluck or bake sale. Next time I'm only going to make a quarter the filling, then top and fold each rectangle of crecent roll individually.

Good recipe. I used four oz of regular cream cheese and 4oz Neufatchel cheese. Husband absolutely loves cheese danishes and he wants me to make them for his work. The only thing is the cooking time needs to be increased by about 2-3 minutes.

Not as good as expected. Canned crescent roll dough is canned crescent roll dough. If I make this again I think I'll use something else like puff pastry or something. The filling tasted okay though.

Wow these are good and pretty easy to make!! As everyone has said, I reduced the cream cheese to one 8oz. brick and the sugar to a 1/2 cup. I have made this a couple of ways, sometimes I add 2 tsp. of cinnamon(to taste) and omit the lemon juice. Wow! Very good! I also will do the plain cream cheese filling or add 1/4 cup of jelly/jam. Also, I do not do the top and bottom layer, but rather I place one crescent on the baking sheet, add the filling generously over it and then place another crescent on top and pinch the edges together. Perfection!

I make this alot for my husband, he LOVES it.I can offer a few changes. I only use one 8 oz. cream cheese. Also, I fork beat one egg white with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and spread this on top prior to baking. This gives it a wonderful cruncy topping. It is also great if you add slivered almonds on top after the egg mixture.

This was so delicious! Unbelieveably easy. I added a can a 12 oz can of raspberry cake/pastry filling as well. There was a bit too much cream cheese filling though, but I think cutting it in half would be too drastic a cut. I flattened out the top crust on a greased plastic pastry sheet and then laid it on top of the filling. I will definitely make this again and again! I did mine on a 16x12 cookie sheet but didn't use quite the whole sheet or the pastry would have been too thin. Excellent quick recipe. Thanks!

This was wonderful! I made a half danish in a 10x5 pan (or somewhere thereabouts) using just one pks of rolls and scaling back the filling accordingly. Threw a couple of plops of cherry preserves inside and WOW! So delicious. I actually made it twice this weekend.

I love this recipe, although I haven't tried it like it says. :) I used the crescent rounds and put some filling in the middle of each one. then I put the icing over the top once they were done. I like them without the icing too! All the ladies at my church loved them, my band members loved them, and my husband and kids loved them, so it's definitely a winner! I also agree it made a lot of filling, but I think I'll try the recipe as it reads and then comment again later. Mmmmmm.

I'd give this ten stars if I could. Made it for Mother's Day breakfast was loved by everyone. DON'T EVEN THINK about cutting the filling recipe, it's crazy! It's 100% perfect AS IS! Can't wait to make again with some cherry or raspberry preserves.

Fantastic, easy recipe. It works well warm and cold and is very easy to adapt. I added some raspberry preserves on top of half of the cheese mixture--just spoon it on and spread it around a bit--and left the other half plain for a little variety. It worked really well. I would definitely disagree with those who suggest halving the filling--it would be much too dry and all you would taste would be the crescent rolls with just a tiny bit of the delicious filling. I took one reviewer's suggestion and upped the lemon juice to a scant 1/4 cup--I think it brightened up the flavor nicely.

This got raves at our church Easter breakfast. I did tweak the recipe a little. I increased the sugar to 1 Cup and the lemon juice to a scant 1/4 cup. I also added about 3 tablespoons of lemon juice to the glaze. It added a very slight lemon flavor. Everyone thought I bought it at the fancy deli downtown!!
