Mini Cheese Danish

This recipe for mini cheese danish is super easy, and delicious! Using crescent rolls for the base, and a sweet, creamy mixture for the center that is quick and easy!

This recipe for mini cheese danish is the perfect mini snack! You can pop them right in your mouth, or savor them bite by bite. But once you taste one, it’ll be hard to savor them!

Ever since I was a little girl, and I was out somewhere with the option to choose a cheese danish, or something else, it would always be the cheese danish!

Sweet, creamy cheese in the center of a soft, buttery pastry…um, yes please!

How could you say no to that?!

And, come on…obviously a nice big danish would be fantastic to have, but does anyone really need down a massive danish??

Thats why these minis are perfect! You can have one, or two, and not feel as guilty as having one big one!

You could also use low fat cream cheese, and low fat crescent roll dough like I did!

Because if you are like me, and have zero self control, you’ll be happy knowing they are lower in fat and calories altering crushing 5 of them…oops…

If you are hosting a brunch, or any type of shower, these would be perfect!

If you end up making these, I hope you enjoy!
