Cream Cheese Danish

34





I have always loved a great cream cheese danish!  I just can't say no!  So, no wonder I love these so much!  You can make them with or without fruit, depending on your personal taste.  I prefer them without, as they are plenty sweet!  This recipe is very kid friendly, one of my "tried and true" recipes that only have that name, because my kids love them!  In fact, Kade walked out the door this morning saying, "Mom, are you gonna make danishes today?"  Out of the blue.  How can I not?
He will love the surprise when he gets home!
