Ingredients

  • 2 cans crescent roll dough
  • confectioner’s sugar for dusting
  • seedless raspberry jam optional
  • sanding sugar optional

Cheese Filling

  • 3 oz cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1 tsp sour cream
  • 2 tbs confectioner’s sugar
  • 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • Mix all filling ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Separate crescent roll dough into 4 rectangles for each can for a total of 8 rectangles.
  • Pinch the diagonal seam together so it doesn’t separate. Cut each rectangle in half lengthwise. Sprinkle with sanding sugar if using.
  • Roll up each strip and pinch seam. Roll to make a rope about 8-to 10-inches. Twist each end in opposite directions about 3-4 times. Roll up in a spiral shape and pinch the end of the rope underneath to seal. Press a depression in the center for the filling.
  • If you want raspberry ONLY, place about one teaspoon in each depression.
  • For raspberry cheese, place about 1/2 teaspoon in each depression then about 2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture on top.
  • If you want cheese ONLY then place about 1 1/2-2 tbs of the cheese mixture in the depression.
  • Place a parchment sheet in the bottom of an air fryer basket; spray lightly with oil.
  • You will have to cook these in shifts—so lay half the danish on the prepared basket, leaving about an inch in between.
  • Air fry at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes. Repeat with second batch.
  • Cool completely then dust with confectioner’s sugar.

Notes

Conventional cooking bake at 375 degrees F for 10-15 minutes. Brush with melted butter if desired (it's not necessary but nice)
