Ingredients: 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese (softened); 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar (divided); 1/8 teaspoon almond extract; 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent dough sheet; 1/2 cup strawberry preserves; 2 tablespoons sliced almonds; 2 teaspoons milk

Crescent Roll Dough

This recipe starts with a tube of refrigerated crescent roll dough. I almost always have a tube of it in my refrigerator. It’s so versatile and really gives you a head-start in making easy meals like Crescent Lasagna.

Look for the new Crescent roll sheet that Pillsbury makes. It’s just one piece of dough and perfect for making these Easy Strawberry Cream Cheese Danishes. But in a pinch, you can use the regular crescent roll dough and just press the preforations to seal the dough into one piece.

How To Make

The dough is spread with strawberry preserves and then lots of cream cheese that has been sweetened with powdered sugar. Just a little almond extract is added for flavoring.

The dough is rolled up cinnamon roll-style and cut into slices. Each one is placed in a greased muffin cup for easy baking. Sliced almonds get sprinkled on top and they are baked for about 20 minutes and then covered with glaze. They are so good you will have a hard time not eating more than one.
