Strawberry Cheese Danish
These Strawberry Cheese Danishes are buttery, flaky crescent rolls with a delicious strawberry center and a vanilla glaze drizzle. They’re the perfect treat to have on any day or to start out your morning with!
My hubby is a HUGE fan of cheese danishes. Me, not so much, until I made these delicious Strawberry Cheese Danishes! 🙂
I remember when Kale and I were dating he told me about a place that sold his favorite cheese danishes. It was up in Veyo, Ut. A tiny little town about 20 minutes north of St. George.
One day my sister had to go there, so I decided to tag along with her and grab one of those ‘amazing’ danishes to surprise Kale with. I was so excited! I returned back to his house and handed it to him. He looked at me like I was crazy.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“This isn’t the right one.” he said.
“What? I got it at that market in Veyo.”
He replied, “This is a packaged Danish I can get anywhere!”
“Oh.” Silence…
So low and behold, I accidentally bought him the wrong one. In that market there are fresh homemade danishes they sell there, but me being Miss. Dumb Blonde, bought him a packaged one that was next to all the Hostess stuff! lol Ooopsie.
Hey, It’s the thought that counts! Right? haha.
These Strawberry Cheese Danishes are buttery, flaky crescent rolls with a delicious strawberry center and a vanilla glaze drizzle. They’re the perfect treat to have on a hot summer day or to start out your morning with.
Not only are these a cinch to make, but they taste a million times better than the store bought versions. And with only a 30 minute prep time, you can have these delicious baby’s in your belly in no time!

How easy and positively Yummy looking!! I love how you utilize Pilsbury cresent rolls in so many great ways – between the Monte Cristos and now these – you are my hero. 🙂
It is definitely the thought that counts! I am going to have to save this recipe so I can pick up some crescents and make these for family breakfast soon. It seems like every time I visit you I get another dish to add to my “to make” list! You’re awesome 🙂
You can’t go wrong with Smuckers and Philly cream cheese!
I am gonna make these for the weekend! Hey, Holly, check out my blog and let me know what you think! I appreciate the input!
Ok I had to laugh when I read this…Because I know the danishes he is talking about. I have visited this little “pie Shop” in Veyo before myself. 🙂
However these do look great. 🙂

Hahaha – funny story! Hey, it happens 🙂
I’m definitely making these with apple!!
Thanks Holly for the input! I’m making plans to start pretty soon doing the cookbook thing! I told Gordon he will get these rolls this weekend and he’s thrilled, loves the cream cheese!
Oh these look yum!
I don’t think we have this refrigerated dough in Australia however? May have to look online for a substitute to try these babies

There are recipes online to make your own crescent roll dough. I’d do that before using Pillsbury, I haven’t looked at their ingredients, but I’d bet there are more than they need as well as a fairly high sodium content. Don’t know about transfats either.
Looks so good right now, breakfast time. But they’d be good anytime. There’s never a wrong time to eat yummy sweet stuff!
Hilarious story! These danishes look delicious and so easy.
Great story! Sounds like something I would do…hehe! These look great just like so many of your recipes. I’m hungry now.
OMG Holly, I am making these this weekend. Cannot wait!
Oh Holly! You’re making me hungy again! These look delicious. Now i”m going to have to figure out a gluten free version.
I love that you used crescent rolls. Totally doable any weekend! Excited to try these.
It is the thought, darn it! 😉 I have a very similar recipe and I love it. What’s nice is that you can fill them with anything your heart desires.

Can you being a couple dozen of these to my house???
These look wonderful and they have the added benefit of not being hard to do. That makes them a winner in my book. I hope you have a great day. Blessings…Mary
I made these last night and they are so good! I used my homemade blueberry/strawberry jam! Thanks again for a great recipe!
Oh, if only I’d seen this post earlier I could have made these this morning! Ugh! We have company and these little danishes would have been the perfect breakfast. I have to bookmark this. THey look delicious!
These look like a perfect quick and easy breakfast treat! I love that you make them with crescent rolls. 🙂
Man, these just reminded me how long it’s been since I’ve had a cheese danish, and they are so yummy too! I must remedy this asap. Yours look delicious!
Thank you so much Holly for stopping by my blog and introducing yourself! I love meeting new followers of my blog….and I LOVE discovering new blogs like yours that makes my mouth water. These danish look out of this world d’lish! – I can’t wait to make them myself…thank you for sharing! 🙂
What a great story. I love it. These look like they turned out perfectly.
I just got these out of the oven and mine do not look like yours! Did you spread the rectangles out a bit so they were a little stretched out? I did not do that and I think I should have! I think they will still taste good, though. 🙂 I have filled crescents before and I should have known to do it. Thanks for all the awesome recipes. I am a HUGE fan of cheese danishes!
My husband is also a huge danish fan. I am going to have to surprise him and make these this weekend. Thanks for sharing. So happy to be your newest follower. check out my blog when you have a chance.
These look incredibly delicious. I can’t wait to try them.
I looked at the recipe on phillsbury.com and the measurements were different compared to the one you posted. Did you modify it?
I just made these quick this morning for my husband, it’s our 9th anniversary today, he absolutely loved them! The only thing I changed, is I used strawberry pie filling instead of jam!
Hi, the recipie seems simple enough, but I just have one question. When you say “uncoil each,” do you mean each triangle after you have already rolled up the entire sheet? Or am I missing something? Please help…..
Oh my goodness, I just figured it out. Lol. I feel silly. Thanks for sharing your recipe and have a happy holiday.
Omg, I am still confused on the uncoil step…please help
This were wonderful! Does anyone know if they freeze well, if i want to make them ahead of time?
Hi Holly, i made these for My husband this morning and they turned out great. He loves danishes, and when I saw THem on your site, I thought I would give them a try.
The only exception I had to make was to put them in the fridge before rolling because the filling was running out. Thanks for another great recipe!
