Blueberry Cheese Danish

(Blueberry, Peach, Raspberry && Cherry, Apple Cheese Danish)

I saw this recipe and borrowed it from Lauren at Lauren's Latest

I couldn't wait to try it, it looked so mouth watering and really easy to  make! 

I've been so busy with the weather being so nice and the yard work needing done, but I finally got to make it this morning. Then our internet went down :(

It was easy to make! I never thought I would make something like this because it seemed difficult, or took to long (I'm impatient when it comes to things like that) but her recipe was easy!!  It was just as good, as store bought! Chris ♥ (My Hubby) says its even better cause its was fresh AND homemade! :) 

It was Awesome! you notice I said was, its almost gone... 

Here is what you need:

1 Tube Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
8 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
3 Tablespoons All Purpose Flour
1 Cup Blueberries

For the Icing
1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
2 tablespoons Whipping Cream
1/8 teaspoon Vanilla Extract


Preheat oven to 375 degrees... 
In a  bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, flour and vanilla.

Put it to the side.

Open crescent roll dough and unroll, leaving them in rectangles. On an ungreased baking sheet, lay the crescent roll rectangles together, lining them up sideways. (See Picture below )

Dough should be almost the entire length of a half sheet pan. Press the edges together and seal any holes.

Spread cream cheese filling down the center of the dough, about 2-3 inches wide. 

 Add your Blueberries (or any fruit you desire)  

Cut 1/2 inch diagonal strips up each side of the dough.(I used a pizza cutter)

Fold 1/2 inch dough pieces up.  

Bake for 20-30 minutes or until filling is set and  dough is golden in color. 

Cool before removing from baking sheet. Mine took about 15-20 minutes to cool (that was the LONGEST 20 minutes!) lol

Meanwhile...

Make Icing
In a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar, vanilla to a nice consistency. You may need to add more whipping cream to get consistency you like. 

Once danish has cooled, remove to serving platter. 
Drizzle Icing over danish. 

Finished Danish...Doesn't it look good enough to eat the whole thing? lol

I used frozen Blueberries, because my grocery didn't have fresh... and I added a little sugar in them as they were defrosting, so they marinaded in sugar water until I was ready to make this. Which was a lot longer than I intended... oh well
Next time I'm going to try Blackberries, but I bet it would be good with any kind of Berry, or No Berry's at all!! I also want to try Cherry Pie Filling, and then maybe I'll try..... ;)

UPDATE 4-30-2012
I made this with (drained) Canned Peaches in place of the Bluberries and it was wonderful!!! So Good!!! Going to gain so much weight lol

 So good! Yum! 
I see a Cherry Danish in my very near future :) Stay tuned...
We will just have to roll us out the door pretty soon if we keep eating these!!

Cherry Cheese Danish
Really, I think any fruit filling would be awesome in this! Cherry Pie filling didn't let me down! Even my hubby enjoyed it and he's not a fan of Cherry Pie...

I have to say, these make good "thank you" gifts! They are quick, easy, and homemade! I've been making them a lot lately for friends and neighbors, for "thank you's" to show our gratitude.

Chicken Crescent Roll Casserole

Tweet

OMGosh! This is so Good! This dish is very flavorful! There is no blandness here! I found this, and borrowed it from Kristen over at Tastebook but adapted it to fit our tastes. I tried it out for my husbands Birthday dinner last night, and he loved it! We need to have this again soon!
This will serve 3-4 people depending on how hungry they are, if they are hungry, or men you probably wont have enough! lol But its going to feed the two of us for two nights. :) 

Here is what you need for my version:

1.  8 oz. Can Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
Sauce Mix 
1.  1 can of Cream of Chicken
2.  3/4 Cup of  Fine Shred Mozzarella Cheese
3.  1/4 Cup of Fine Shred Cheddar Cheese
4.  1/2 Cup Whipping Cream 
5.  Pepper to taste

Filling:
1.  4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2.  4 Tablespoons Butter, softened (not melted)
3.  1/2 Teaspoon of Garlic Powder
4.  2 Large Chicken Breasts,chopped
5.  1/2 Cup Fine Shred Mozzarella Cheese
6.  1/4 Cup Fine Shred Cheddar Cheese
7.  1/2 Teaspoon of Seasoned Salt
8.  Pepper to Taste
9.  2-4 Tablespoons of Whipping Cream
10.1/2 Cup of Mozzarella/ Cheddar Cheese for sprinkling on top.

Pre-heat Oven to 350°  Spray casserole dish with non stick spray.
(I used a 13x9 pan, it held 8 Crescents) 
In a sauce pan heat the Cream of Chicken, 3/4 Cup and 1/4 Cup of Cheese & 1/2 Cup of Whipping Cream just until the cheese melts (don't boil)
Filling
Mix the Cream Cheese and Butter together in a bowl, stir until smooth. Make sure Cream Cheese and Butter is soft, as it makes it easier to mix. Add the garlic powder, Chicken and 1/2Cup and 1/4 Cup of Cheese's, mix thoroughly. Add 2 Tablespoons of Whipping Cream, you may add more if it seems dry. Add Seasoning Salt and Pepper, stir.
In the greased Casserole dish  put a dollop of the Sauce Mix where each Crescent is going to go (I just put a thin layer on the whole dish)
Unroll the Crescent Rolls and scoop about 2 or so ( heaping)Tablespoons full of the filling mixture on to the wide end of Crescent. Start rolling from the wide end and place the seam side down in the casserole dish. Once done and all the Crescents are in the dish, drizzle Sauce Mix on top of Crescents. Mine was kind of thick so it was had to drizzle lol but do the best you can :) Sprinkle remaining 1/2 Cup Of Mozzarella/Cheddar Cheese on top. Bake 30 minutes.

I think next time I'm going to skip putting the Sauce mix on top until it bakes for about 15-20 min. then add the Sauce and Cheese and bake another 15 min. I don't mind the doughy-ness but my hubby doesn't like it :/ (he sure didn't mind last night though cause he ate them up!! lol Oh and he added more cheese (as if there wasn't enough) to a few of his...cause he's a cheesy kind of guy ♥ hehehe (Thanks Kristen!)
