My hubby is a HUGE fan of Cheese Danishes. Me, not so much. Until I made these babies! I remember when Kale and I were dating, he told me about a place that sold his favorite Cheese Danishes. It was up in Veyo, Ut. It's a tiny little town about 20 minutes north of St. George. One day my sister had to go up there, so I decided to tag along with her and grab one of these 'amazing' danishes to surprise Kale with! I was so excited! I returned back to his house and handed it to him! He looked at me like I was crazy.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"This isn't the right one." he said.
"What? I got it at that market in Veyo."
He replied, "This is a packaged Danish I can get anywhere!"
"Oh." Silence...
So low and behold, I had accidentally bought him the wrong one. I guess in that market, there's fresh homemade danishes that they sell there, but me being Miss. Dumb Blonde, bought him a packaged one that was next to all the Hostess stuff! lol
Hey, It's the thought that counts! Right?
Strawberry Cheese Danish
1 tube (8 oz) refrigerated crescent rolls
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar

Directions: Seperate dough into four rectangles. Seal perforations. In a small bowl whisk together cream cheese, sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Spread 1/4 of the mixture onto each rectangle. Roll up from long side; pinch edges to seal. Holding one end, loosely coil each.
