Cheese Filled Danish Rolls
Cheese Filled Danish Rolls | “This is the BEST danish I have ever had!” That’s what my husband said when he took his first bite of this delicious danish. Starting with store bought crescent rolls, with cheesecake filling and a dollop of jelly. These giant rolls are everything you love about danish rolls. Your guests or family will think you made a quick run to the bakery…..but you didn’t….you made them yourself!
YES! These are the best danish rolls YOU will ever have! I am so happy my mom gave me her Pillsbury Best of the Bake-Off Cookbook from 1996 because it is filled with awesome recipes that I can’t wait to try. The winner for this recipe was: Barbara S. Gibson, she won the Grand Prize in 1975. Thanks Barbara for sharing your awesomeness with us!

I’m just wondering, you mentioned lemon juice to be mix with cheese cream and sugar. But your ingredients doesn’t mention anything about lemon juice, it say vanilla.
Oh….Yes Maria. When I updated the recipe I took out the lemon juice and used vanilla. I changed the directions to vanilla. 🙂
Can’t wait to try this recipe….
Yummy stuff Debra!
