Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Without unrolling, slice crescent dough sheet into 10 equal portions. Place crescent dough rounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Press the back of a tablespoon into the center of each roll to make an indentation.
- For filling, add cream cheese, white sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla to a bowl, and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Dollop filling into the indentations in the rolls.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes.
- Remove Danishes from the oven. Add a spoonful of cherry pie filling containing 4 or 5 cherries into each Danish.
- Return to the oven; bake until golden, about 9 minutes more.
- To glaze, whisk confectioner’s sugar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and enough milk together to form a pourable glaze; drizzle over cherry-topped Danishes while still warm and enjoy.
