Ingredients
- Crescent roll dough
- Butterscotch chips
- Cream cheese
- Powdered sugar
- Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean, flat surface. Carefully separate the dough into triangles along the perforated lines.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 4 oz of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Take a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture and place it at the wider end of each crescent triangle.
- Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of butterscotch chips over the cream cheese mixture on each triangle.
- Starting from the wide end, carefully roll up each triangle towards the pointed end, ensuring the filling stays inside.
- Place the rolled danishes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the danishes are golden brown and puffed up.
- Once baked, remove the danishes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
- For an optional glaze, mix 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of milk and a splash of vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the warm danishes before serving.
- Enjoy your delicious Crescent Roll Butterscotch Danishes warm or at room temperature!
Tips
- Make sure your cream cheese is softened at room temperature for smooth, lump-free filling.
- Don't overfill the crescent triangles to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- For extra richness, try using brown sugar in your cream cheese mixture.
- Allow the danishes to cool slightly before glazing to prevent the sugar from melting completely.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven to restore their crispy texture.
- Experiment with different chip flavors like caramel or chocolate for variety!
