I found this cute idea for a candy cane shaped danish on Amanda’s Cookin’ – and have been in love with the idea of fun danish shapes ever since.

The ingredients below are nearly identical to Amanda’s, the only difference being that I use more vanilla, and have cut the recipe in half. I also do not use parchment paper as she suggests. It’s a good idea, I just don’t do it because I most often don’t have it on hand.

Ingredients
  

Ingredients

  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 8 oz tube crescent roll
  • cherry pie filling

Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp butter softened
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Prepare baking sheet with cooking spray
  • Mix softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. I use a spatula to press it all together until ready to add the other ingredients.
  • Combine glaze ingredients in a separate bowl, set aside
  • On a long baking sheet, arrange crescents into the shape of a candy cane. (pictured below)
  • Using a large spoon or spatula create an indent up the length of the candy cane, where you'll place the cream cheese mixture and pie filling (pictured below)
  • Spread cream cheese mixture up the length of the candy cane (pictured below)
  • Spread pie filling up the length of the candy cane (pictured below)
  • Fold edges of crescent rolls over the filling, and at an upward angle (pictured below)
  • Bake approximately 15 minutes (until it has turned a golden color)
  • Remove candy cane from oven and allow to cool for only a few minutes
  • Spread glaze over the top of the crescent roll stripes
  • Serve warm
