Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 Tablespoons flour
  • 8 ounce tube Pillsbury Crescent rolls or crescent roll sheet
  • 21 ounces blackberry pie filling
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries

Icing

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and flour.
  • Set aside.
  • Open crescent roll dough and unroll, leaving crescents all together in one large rectangle
  • On an ungreased baking sheet, lay the crescent roll rectangle. The dough should be almost the entire length of a half sheet pan. (If you're not using a crescent roll sheet, be sure to 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 blackberry pie filling or fresh blackberries (or both). You may not need to use the whole can, just enough to cover it well.
  • Fold 1/2 inch dough pieces up over filling alternating sides to get a braided pattern. You may have excess dough once you reach the end of the danish, so fold them in as best as you can.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until filling is set and crescent dough is golden in color.
  • Cool before removing from baking sheet.
  • Once danish has cooled, remove to serving platter.
  • In a small bowl, whisk 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.
