Red White & Blueberry Danish

We look forward to celebrating the 4th of July in the USA,

with Fireworks,

Flags,

Grand Old Flag

and Decorations

Flip Flops, Firecrackers & Flags

Even if you don’t celebrate the 4th of July,

it’s fun to add red white & blue to your summer menu,

like these Berry Pancake Stacks

And this Red, White & Blueberry Danish

One of my favorite kitchen helpers is Pillsbury

I love to use their refrigerated dough products

The base of this danish is a crescent roll dough sheet

Using spreadable cream cheese and a crescent roll dough sheet

made quick work of this cheese danish

Spread the cheese over the dough

and sprinkle the sugar evenly over the top

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,

{or you can use sliced strawberries or raspberries}

Top with blueberries

!s there anything better than a baked sweet blueberry?

Carefully roll up into a log enclosing the berries

And form dough log into a ring, pinching ends together

and cutting slits around the top of dough

After baking add sprinkles for an extra touch of festive

and a simple powdered sugar glaze

Serve for breakfast, brunch, or dessert with a little ice cream
