Recipe Added:  10/4/2012
1 tube crescent rolls
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 Tbsp flour
1 cup fresh blackberries

Glaze
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp heavy cream
1/8 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, flour and vanilla. Set aside. Open crescent roll dough and unroll, leaving crescents in rectangles. On an ungreased baking sheet or silicon mat, lay crescent roll rectangles together, lining them up width wise. Dough should be almost the entire length of a half sheet pan. Press edges together to even out edges and seal any holes.

Cut 1/2 inch diagonal strips up each side of the dough. Carefully spread cream cheese filling down the center of the dough to be about 2-3 inches wide. Top with fresh blackberries. Fold 1/2 inch dough pieces up over filling alternating sides to get a braided pattern.

Bake 15-20 minutes or until filling is set and crescent dough is golden in color. Cool before removing from baking sheet. Once pastry has cooled, remove to serving platter. In a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar, vanilla and cream to create icing. You may need to add more cream to get the desired consistency. Drizzle icing over Danish. Cut into pieces and serve.
