CREAM CHEESE DANISHES – The Southern Lady Cooks

We love making recipes with canned biscuits and these cream cheese danishes and muffins are so easy and always a hit!

You will also want to make these delicious Canned Biscuit Donuts! Such a wonderful treat on a Sunday morning and they are super versatile.

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We love how easy these are to make and they are only a few ingredients. We make these two different ways and love both. One uses a muffin tin and the other is just flattened biscuit dough. My family loves them and they are great with coffee or would even be a cute addition to a brunch.

SWAPS & ADDITIONS

You could use the 1/3 fat cream cheese or even the no-fat if you prefer. You can also use other pie fillings. I am sure apple is delicious, and blueberry would be great, too. Someone in the comments made these with Grand’s cinnamon rolls and said they were terrific. Always read the comments; our followers are great cooks and have wonderful suggestions.

⭐TIP

All ovens vary so you will need to remember that when making these. Someone commented they had to cook them longer. You can also double or triple this recipe.

Course Breakfast

Cuisine American

• 1 16 ounce can jumbo flaky biscuits with 8 biscuits in can.
• 1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
• 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 21 ounce can cherry pie filling (You can use whatever pie filling you like)

Glaze:

• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 2 to 3 tablespoon milk more or less until of pouring consistency

• Remove biscuits from can and pull apart to make two biscuits out of each one. You will have 16 flat biscuit pieces. If you are making the muffin type danishes, roll the biscuit pieces out a little to fit in the cup of a standard sized muffin tin that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray.

• If you are making the flat ones on a baking sheet, place a piece of parchment paper on the sheet and put the flat biscuit pieces on the paper. I kind of crimp the outsides of each flat piece kind of like you would a pie crust to hold the filling. Mix the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with a mixer and add about a tablespoon to each danish, then add pie filling on top. I make 8 of each and use all the cream cheese and pie filling.

• Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes until biscuits are brown and done. Let cool and add glaze below if you like. Makes 16 danishes.
