Recipe Box, Red White & Blueberry Cheese Danish
It’s fun to add red white & blue to your summer menu
Trying to come up with something festive but easy over Memorial Day weekend I turned to one of my best kitchen helpers, Pillsbury
After surfing through recipes on Pinterest I borrowed a little of this and a little of that and created this easy peasy danish ring
Using spreadable cream cheese and a crescent roll dough sheet made quick work of this cheese danish
Many recipes called for beating the cream cheese with sugar in a bowl, but I simply spread the cheese over the dough and sprinkled the sugar evenly over the top of cheese layer
If you want a lot of creamy cheese filling make your cheese layer even thicker
Skip the sugar altogether if you prefer, the fruit itself will provide sweetness
I used red raspberry jam for the next layer, but you can use sliced strawberries or raspberries instead
Blueberries of course~ is there anything better than a baked sweet blueberry?
Carefully roll up
And form dough log into a ring, pinching ends together and cutting slits around the top of dough
Brush it with beaten egg before baking if you want a shiny result
I added red sprinkles for an extra touch of festive
and a simple powdered sugar glaze
Serve for breakfast, brunch, or dessert with a little ice cream
