so i think i’ve created a new recipe! …at least as far as i know. with so many talented people out there, and outlets to share those talent,s it’s becoming harder to create something that is truly original. this recipe came about from a mash up of two other recipes i’ve used in the past. the result is a really simple and delicious breakfast pastry, dessert or coffee-sipping-snack. i call them berry danish minis.
aren’t they cute? for what they lack in size they make up for in flavor! do you immediately want to make some of your own? good, let’s get started.
here’s what you’ll need….
1 package pillsbury crescent rolls (or one of those new fancy crescent sheet things)
4 oz softened cream cheese
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 tbs sugar
1/2 cup jam OR 1/2 cup fresh berries (mashed and mixed with 1 tbs sugar)
[for this recipe i used 1/4 cup cherry jam and 1/4 cup blueberrie/blackberries. i wanted to try both]
step one: preheat oven to 350. open your crescent rolls and split at the seam into two sections. unroll unto a lightly floured surface.
step two: seal the seams with your fingers. roll out dough until about 1/4 inch thick.
step three: combined softened cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. spread evenly onto both pieces of dough.
step four: spread jam OR mashed berry/sugar mixture on top of cream cheese.
step five: roll up dough lengthwise.
step six: sliced rolled dough into eight even sections.
step seven: place cut sections into a lightly greased mini muffin tin.
step eight: bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top. then, allow to cool in pan for about five minutes.
step nine: remove from pan and lightly sprinkle with powdered sugar.
step ten: devour
talk about yumminess! and super easy, right? told ya!
so what do you think? will you be giving my berry danish minis a try? i sure hope!
Just made these for our Teacher’s back to school day brunch! They are delicious…yes, I had to try one! The teachers are going to love them. Thanks!
Oh perfect! I hope they enjoy them! Thanks for letting me know!

Made these today and used lemon curd. mmmmmmmmmmmmm!
They are beatiful!!! Congrats for creating a new recipe!;-)
Making a ‘mini’ variety for your baked goods is a good idea so that they can be served as appetizers or small treats for a get-together with family and friends. There is plenty to go around and people will get enticed to have one or two because of the aroma and appeal that your berry danish minis have.
I made these this morning with a few adjustments: I used Splenda in place of sugar, low fat cream cheese, and no sugar added cherry pie filling. Even my 12 year old son loved them!
These are delicious! And the Nutella rolls are maybe even better.
Both recipes worked well with Grands layers biscuits.
Forgot to sift my powdered sugar, so there were lumps, but otherwise, just right!
Thanks!
These look excellent, I can’t wait to try them
Thanks, these were a big hit. I can’t wait to make them again with more flavor combos, so simple and tasty.
Oh, my, delightful, and adorable, so cute, thanks for sharing your world.
I too, am an inn owner, always on the hunt for lovely things for my guests.
Yummy!
Looked so good I dropped what I was doing and made these for breakfast for the family. Thanks.
I think I will be using this at my daughter’s upcoming baby shower. What a cute idea!
Hi can you tell me if the crescent roll dough would be the same as ready made puff pastry, as I live in the UK and we don’t have the crescent roll stuff? Thanks, Susan
Oh Michael, I’m so glad I didn’t give up sweets for Lent! I’m doing a test run of these little beauties tonight and then making a batch for my children’s school’s teacher lounge. I’m sure they’re going to be delish! I can’t wait to poke around your blog some more!
