Cheese-less Danish
For Easter breakfast my Mom made her famous "cheese" danish, but substituted the cream cheese with Tofutti’s Better than Cream Cheese. It really was delicious and I am considering making it to bring to my next support group meeting.
Here is the recipe:
2 packages Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
2 8oz tubs of Tofutti’s Better than Cream Cheese
3/4 Cups Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
1 tsp Lemon Juice
1 Egg Yolk
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 1/2 x 11 pan. Lay out 1 package of the crescent rolls without separating them. Mix together the "cream cheese", sugar, vanilla & lemon juice. Spread the "cream cheese" mixture on the crescent rolls. Lay the second package of crescent rolls on top; pressing the edges and ridges until closed. Spread the top with the egg yolk. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until brown. Watch carefully.
Icing:
1 1/2 Cups Confectioner's Sugar
3/4 tsp Vanilla
Soy or Rice Milk to desired consistency (adding by tablespoon) [we used plain soy milk]
Mix ingredients together. Drizzle on top of pastry. Chill before cutting and serving.

Sounds yummy!! I wish we had wheat and egg so I could try this. Alas, I think we will get milk before we get egg.
Oh! We'll have to try this. Cheese danish is my husband's *favorite.* I'm sure he misses them.
yum! Sounds good and healthy too!
Mike and I just finished our marathon - the weather is amazing. He looks like a lobster b/c he is so burnt...not to mention the 'road rash' he got. He medalled and got 3rd place. Not too shabby for his first 2 months of skating. LOL
Lets definitely schedule a scapping session -- i am still downloading freebies online, I just have to start working with them now!!
Hope all is well! - J
