Easy Cherry Danishes

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, use a hand-held mixer to beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, and almond extract until smooth. Set aside.Note: If you don't have an electric mixer, you can use a wooden spoon.

Step 3

Open the container of crescent rolls, but do NOT unroll the dough.Using a sharp, serrated knife, cut through the log of dough to form 10 slices.

Step 4

Flatten each piece of dough and build up the sides a little so that it is like a saucer.

Step 5

Place the dough rounds on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.Drop a spoonful of cream cheese mixture on each one and top with a spoonful of cherry mixture.

Step 6

Bake for 18 minutes, or until golden around the edges.If some of the cherries slide off, just spoon them back onto the danishes.

Step 7

Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl. Once danishes have cooled slightly, drizzle glaze on them.
