Blueberry Cream Cheese Danish | Walking on Sunshine Recipes (1)

Today I'm sharing a delicious and easy blueberry cream cheese danish recipe. For this recipe I chose blueberry pie filling, however, you can use any flavor of fruit your family loves. Or you can leave off the fruit like I do with my Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls.

This recipe is how I make my very popular Christmas Tree Danish Recipe or Easter Egg Shaped Cream Cheese Danish for the holidays.

How cute would it be to make cherry and blueberry for the 4th of July holiday weekend?

You can leave out the cream cheese filling if you wanted a more easier recipe to prepare. Try my apple danish recipe that only uses apple pie filling with the crescent rolls.

Recipes Using Crescent Rolls

I love to use refrigerated crescent rolls to create easy, semi-homemade recipes, desserts or snacks. You really can make anything with a tube of dough!

A few of my favorite recipes here on the blog are Fruit Tart, Peach Dumplings, Pumpkin Cream Cheese Rolls, and Apple Dumplings. I even use crescent rolls as the base for my Zucchini Pie.

You might want to double this recipe because these blueberry danish do go fast! Seriously, every time I make these they disappear really quickly from the buffet table. So do yourself a favor and double the recipe.

  Using butter crescent rolls might change the flavor of the recipe. If that's all you have, go for it!

  The only thing you can really make ahead is the cream cheese mixture. I usually prepare that the night before so in the morning all I have to do is put the danish together and bake. You could bake these all before you go to church, that shouldn't be a problem. Hope they enjoy the recipe!

  You should be able to keep the danish at room temperature for a few hours.Of course, that depends on how warm it is in your kitchen/house. But for most homes you should be okay for a few hours.
  If it's over 2 to 3 hours or a very hot summer day, I would store them in the refrigerator just to be safe.
  Hope you enjoy the recipe, it is one of my favorites to make for company. Guests always think I purchased them at a bakery.

What a great idea for a quick breakfast treat. It's easy having the ingredients on hand and whipping up a batch of blueberry danish would be fantastic. I can see having friends over for coffee and serving the danish. In fact, my grandsons will be coming over this weekend and I'm making this recipe for them. Won't they be surprised!!
