Recipe View 5 mins Once the Danish has cooled slightly, drizzle the icing evenly over the top. Allow the icing to set before serving. (5 minutes)

For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon to the cream cheese filling or a handful of chopped nuts to the top before baking.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened before mixing for a smoother filling. If you're short on time, you can microwave it for a few seconds, but be careful not to melt it.
If the top of the Danish starts to brown too quickly in the oven, tent it loosely with aluminum foil.
Leftover Danish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving.

    This recipe is fantastic! So easy to follow, and the Danish came out perfectly. My family loved it!

  • Eloise Bartell

    I added a bit of almond extract to the filling, and it was a game-changer! Definitely recommend trying that.

  • Maxwell Ankunding

    The first time I made this, the filling was a little runny. I think I didn't seal the seams well enough. The second time, it was perfect!
