Cream Cheese Danish

2 tubes of Crescent Rolls
2 (8oz).-pkgs. Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat over to 350. Butter a 9 x 13 pan. Line bottom of pan with 1 roll of crescents. (Pinch seams and press out until entire bottom of pan is covered.) Mix together softened cream cheese, 1/2 c. sugar and vanilla. Beat until creamy. Spread filling over bottom crust. Unroll second tube of crescent rolls and lay over filling. Drizzle melted butter over top crust. Mix cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle over top crust. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Let cool before serving.

***Note: My husband and I have been facilitating our Sunday School Class for the past few weeks and will continue for the next few weeks. As a part of this, I have been trying to take a breakfast treat for the class to enjoy. Hence why I have posted some breakfast recipes.

This past Sunday, I fixed the above recipe. It was delicious. Now, it's no where near a real Danish that you would find in a pastry shop but for the convenience, the taste is really good.

I had to roll out the crescent rolls in order for them to fit the 9 x 13 pan. I used Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls (Great Value brand from Wal-Mart). I used Fat Free Cream Cheese (Great Value brand from Wal-Mart) and I used Smart Balance 50/50 Butter Blend. These ingredients made this recipe lower fat, cheaper and just as tasty.
