How to Make an Easy Cream Cheese Danish in an Oven
Aunt Lou here.
This Easy Cream Cheese Danish oven recipe is based off of our Crock Pot Cream Cheese Danish recipe. Whichever way you need or want to make this recipe, you are going to love it!
The secret to this delicious treat is the crescent rolls crust. It is easy, yet perfectly flaky and delectably creamy! Seriously y’all, this is the perfect breakfast or dessert for a treat for your family or to take to a potluck! Yum!
What You Will Need
Ingredients Needed
- 16 oz crescent rolls (2-8 oz cans)
- 16 oz cream cheese (2-8 oz blocks)
- 3/4 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling on top
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg divided
Equipment Needed
- Measuring Cup
- Measuring Spoon
- Basting brush
- Mixer (or mixing bowl and a solid spoon to mix your ingredients together with)
- 9×13 baking dish
Time Needed
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Baking Time: 18 minutes
General Notes
- Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
- Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
- As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
- All ovens cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own oven and time adjusted as needed.
Recipe Specific Notes
- You want to keep your crescent rolls in the fridge until you are ready to use them. They are easier to roll out when they are cold.
- I find it easier to pinch the crescent rolls together once in the pan for the bottom roll. However, for the top layer, I like to take the two crescent rolls that roll out together and pinch them together before placing them on top of the cream cheese filling.
- Don’t use too much of your egg whites. Just lightly brush them on the top.
