Barefoot in the Kitchen: Cream Cheese Danish
My husband loves all things sweet. I have watched him pound down four jelly doughnuts in the time that it would take me to eat a half of one-no joke. That man is a Hoover, and sometimes I have to ask him if he even tasted his food because he inhales it. I definitely cannot keep up-and really don't think that I would want too! I guess that is the military man in him.
So one morning, I decided to whip up an alternative to his jelly doughnut- one that might be slightly healthier for him- but honestly not much. At least it isn't FRIED!
Cream Cheese Danish
2 tubes reduced fat crescent rolls
Filling
2 8 oz bars of fat free cream cheese
1/4 c egg beaters or one whole egg
1 c of Splenda
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 t almond extract
Optional 1 cup fresh fruit or pie filling or preserves
* I personally pick fresh fruit but if I don't have any then sugar free preserves is always my next go to.
Topping
1 egg white whisked
Icing
1/2 powdered sugar
2 tbsp skim milk
1 t vanilla but let's be honest I always use a little more
In a 13 x 9 greased pan, put in 1 can of the crescent rolls and pat it out, sealing the perforated pieces.
