Danishes sound fancy right?
Like you’d think they’d be complicated to make.
Especially ones like these raspberry lemon danishes.
But they are anything but complicated thanks to my shortcut ingredient- a tube of refrigerated crescent rolls!
That means no making homemade pastry dough but you still get delicious pastries loaded with raspberry lemon flavors.
They are as good as anything you’d get out but at home for less cost.
Ingredients
To make these you’ll need:
- Cream cheese– Softened to room temperature
- Sugar– Granulated
- Lemon– The juice and zest from one lemon.
- Raspberries– Fresh ones
- Crescent rolls– An 8 ounce tube of refrigerated crescent rolls
How to Make
Making raspberry lemon danishes is easy!
Just whip together the cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a bowl until it’s evenly combined.
Gently fold in the berries with a spatula.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and lay it flat on a large clean cutting board.
Press all the seams together to make one large sheet of dough.
Spread the cream cheese filling over the dough, making sure to leave a half inch clean edge all the way around.
Starting at the long end, roll the dough into a tight log and cut the log into 12 equal sections.
Put the pastries in rows on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Bake the danishes at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes or just until they puff up and turn golden brown.
Take the hot pan out of the oven and let the danishes sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to set.
Serve and enjoy!
Storing Leftovers
These danishes are best the day they are made, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or two.
Tips and Tricks
- Make sure to let the danishes set for a few minutes prior to serving so the filling doesn’t leak out when you serve them.
