Ingredients

Danish

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons milk

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. Remove dough from can; do not unroll. Using serrated knife, cut dough into 8 slices. Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Press each slice into 3-inch round, leaving ridge around outer edge.
  • 2
    In small bowl, mix cream cheese spread and 3 tablespoons powdered sugar. Spoon about 2 teaspoons cream cheese mixture on center of each dough round; spread slightly. Top each with 1 teaspoon lemon curd.
  • 3
    Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheet; remove to serving plate.
  • 4
    In small bowl, mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar with enough milk for desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle glaze over Danish. Serve warm.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Remaining lemon curd can be used for filling pastry or filo cups; serve over prepared pound cake or as a filling in white or yellow cupcakes.
  • tip 2
    To really change up the flavor, omit lemon curd, and sprinkle cream cheese with mini chocolate chips. You can leave them unglazed if you like.
  • tip 3
    Swap glaze for a dusting of powdered sugar on top of each Danish, if desired.
