Step 2: Mixing the Cream Cheese Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat the ingredients together until smooth and well combined. Set the mixture aside for later use.

Step 3: Assembling the Danish Pastries

Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Arrange four pieces of dough together on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that the small flat sides are touching.

Twist the tips of the dough and press them towards the center, forming a well for the filling.

Step 4: Adding the Filling

Place a dollop of the prepared cream cheese mixture into the center of each dough well. Follow by adding a spoonful of your favorite jelly on top of the cream cheese filling.

Step 5: Baking the Danishes

Bake the assembled pastries in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.

Step 6: Serving and Enjoying

Once baked, remove the cream cheese danishes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. These delightful pastries are best enjoyed warm with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea.
