Instructions
Making these Lemon Raspberry Cream Cheese Danish Rolls is straightforward when you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.
3. Roll Out Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Pinch the seams together to create a solid sheet.
4. Cut Dough: Cut the dough into rectangles, approximately 4×4 inches.
5. Add Filling: Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each rectangle. Top with a few raspberries.
6. Fold and Seal: Fold the corners of the dough over the filling to create a pocket. Use a fork to press and seal the edges.
7. Brush with Egg Wash: Place the sealed rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 15-20 minutes.
10. Dust with Powdered Sugar: If desired, dust the cooled rolls with powdered sugar before serving.
