These Creamy Lemon Danish Bites are a delightful twist on the classic cream cheese Danish, featuring a zesty lemon flavor and a buttery, flaky crust.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even baking and a golden crust.
Slice the crescent roll dough into 1/4 inch slices and place them on a baking sheet.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts and uniform slices.
Press a small indentation in the center of each dough slice.
Use the back of a spoon to create even indentations.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, white sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and sour cream until smooth.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
Spoon a tablespoon of the filling into the indentation of each dough slice.
Avoid overfilling to prevent spilling during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
Check for a golden color to ensure they are done.
In a small bowl, mix the confectioners' sugar, milk, and melted butter to make the glaze.
Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or sugar as needed.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled pastries.
Ensure the pastries are completely cool before glazing to prevent melting.
Serve and enjoy your Creamy Lemon Danish Bites!
