An easy last-minute recipe to serve for breakfast on Christmas morning is this delicious Christmas tree cream cheese danish. Your family is going to love this!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cans of refrigerated crescent rolls.
  • 8 ounces cream cheese; softened
  • 1 can of cherry pie filling
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
For the Glaze:
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp. milk

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Combine the glaze ingredients together until smooth and set aside until the danish is baked and cooled.
  2. Open the packages of crescent rolls, but do not separate them. Using a serrated knife, slice each "roll" into 11 equal pieces. Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, gently indent the middle of each circle so there is a space for the cream cheese to be placed inside. Arrange the crescent circles into the shape of a Christmas tree.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla.  
  4. Place a small spoonful of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each crescent circle. Then place a small spoonful of the cherry pie filling on top.  You will not use all the cherry pie filling.  
  5. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 18 - 20 minutes.
  6. Let cool and drizzle with the glaze.
