Recipe Ingredients & Instructions: 2 (8 ounce) crescent dough sheets or crescent rolls 1 (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened to room temperature ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 1 large egg 1 tablespoon water 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon INSTRUCTIONS Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Separate the egg yolk from the egg white in two different bowls. Whisk the egg white with water and set aside. Into the stand mixer, or using a large bowl with hand mixer, add in the cream cheese. Whip with beater attachment on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add in ¼ cup granulated sugar. Blend on medium speed for 60 seconds, scraping down the sides as needed. Add in egg yolk and mix for 30 seconds on medium speed. Pour in vanilla extract and blend 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then blend again on medium high speed for 60 seconds. Set filling aside. Roll both the crescent rolls out onto a piece of parchment paper. Pinch together, or use a rolling pin to close the perforations if using crescent rolls, instead of dough sheets. When looking at the crescent dough like a tall rectangle, use a pizza cutter to horizontally slice the rectangle, 3 times into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece up tightly into a cylinder, like a snake. Then, twist the piece by holding the right side still, and turning the left side counter clockwise. This will make the dough look like it has stripes, like a candy cane does. Swirl the piece of dough around into a circle shape. Then, press the center of the danish dough with the thumb or a spoon to create a well for the filling. Note: Make sure there are no open gaps for the filling to leak from. Transfer the danishes onto a parchment paper or silpat lined cookie sheet. Fill each pastry with about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese filling. In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon with remaining tablespoon of granulated sugar. Lightly brush the outsides of the pastries with the egg white wash, then sprinkle on a pinch of cinnamon and sugar around the outsides of the dough, not on the filling. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Allow the danishes to cool for about 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
