Brown Sugar Cheese Danish, so easy to make, so good to eat!
A few weeks ago I shared with you this Brown Sugar Cinnamon Fruit Dip. It’s amazing. I can eat it with a spoon. I make the kids use fruit when they want to dig in, but me, I’m mom, I can use anything I want to get some of this stuff. You know how it gets, you can only eat so much of a good thing and then…enough. Around the fourth batch, the kids, well, they’d had enough. And I’d just made a new batch, for them!
I love Puff Pastry. So easy to use, makes simple recipes seem fancy. I always have a box or 3 in my freezer. Kinda like butter, I don’t like to be without it. Perfect for a quick, looks like I slaved over it, made from scratch (we know I didn’t but don’t tell) treat. Sweet or savory, it’s always able to deliver.
This recipe is so simple I hate to call it a whole post. But it’s too good not to share. My kids wanted to know what the occasion was for having these. I told them just because I thought they were worth it. And by the way, would you mind picking up your rooms before dinner?
I loved having their rooms all picked up without having to nag.

Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puffed pastry
- 1 bar (8ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream
Instructions
- Defrost puffed pastry on a lightly floured cutting board. Once thawed, gently roll with a rolling pin, just to stretch dough a bit. Cut dough into 6 squares. Transfer squares to parchment lined baking sheet.
- Prepare filling-combine cream cheese, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Spread filling down the middle of your pastry, between opposite corners.
- Fold empty, naked, the corners that don't have spread on them, into the center, just overlapping. Use just a dab of water to "glue" the corners together. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
- Combine powdered sugar and milk/cream, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over pastries. Serve warm. Store in air tight container in the refrigerator.

October 22, 2012 at 6:03 pmthese look wonderful! I’ll have to make them soon! I just recently found your blog and I love it! Thanks for sharing all of these great recipes. I saw that you are from Georgia and we just moved to W.R. Georgia a few months ago. It’s such a small world. At least I know I’ll be able to find the ingredients to your recipes at the local stores! Thanks 🙂 Jen

October 22, 2012 at 6:41 pmJen, we’re back door neighbors! I’m in Byron. Yes, the Publix, Kroger and Walmart I shop at are all in WR! Depending on where you moved from, you will find we are lacking in many ingredients. I moved here 15 years ago and there are still a few thing I wish the stores carried. So glad to meet you!

October 22, 2012 at 8:30 pmSo glad to meet you too! We moved from a very rural area in SC, so having a Publix nearby is quite a luxury! I’ve also discovered AJ’s cake supply shop and I love it! My email is: jena_may@yahoo.com if you ever need a taste tester! LOL! Jen

March 24, 2014 at 8:35 amThese look great!! Do you think you could use Pillsbury Cresents? Or would they not have the same effect??
Joan Hayes says
March 25, 2014 at 8:12 amyou can certainly use the crescent dough, your texture will be different but just as tasty!

May 28, 2014 at 11:13 pmSorry, what is powdered sugar?? Is it like icing sugar? Where can I find it in Australia? Love your recipes. thanks
Joan Hayes says
May 30, 2014 at 10:50 pmYes powdered sugar is also known as icing sugar or confectioner’s sugar.
Susan says
May 28, 2014 at 11:44 pmIs powdered sugar just everyday white sugar?
Joan Hayes says
May 29, 2014 at 11:20 pmPowdered sugar is also called confectioner’s sugar or icing sugar.
Bob says
October 11, 2014 at 2:46 pmThis looks delicious! It’s too bad I don’t have time to get to the grocery store to buy the puff pastry, it would take at least 30 minutes to get there and back. I will make and fill crepes with this instead.
Thanks!
Joan Hayes says
October 11, 2014 at 4:52 pmUsing the filling in crepes sounds delicious!
