Cherry Cheese Danish recipe....

Good Morning Everyone!!

Here is the recipe for the Cherry Cheese Danish I made for Liz's yesterday that seemed to be a BIG hit!! It is VERY YUMMY and EASY to make....

2 8oz tubes of refrigerated crescent dough sheets or crescent dinner rolls
1 15oz container of ricotta cheese
1 cup plus 1 tbsp splenda
1tsp vanilla
1 21oz can of lucky leaf LITE cherry pie filling (Giant sells it)
2 tbsps butter, melted
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup chopped pecans(optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Unroll 1 package of crescent dough and fit into the bottom of an 9 x 13 inch pan. In a bowl mix together ricotta cheese and 1 cup splenda and vanilla. Spread mixture over dough in pan. Then spread a layer of cherry pie filling over the cheese mixture. Unroll remaining crescent roll dough and lay on top of the pie filling. Bake for 35-40 minutes checking frequently. Mix together nuts, 1tbsp splenda and butter in a bowl and add AFTER the dough is completely baked. Edges will be more done than the center so check center for doneness. After adding nut mixture, bake for an additional 5 minutes. Enjoy heated!!

Ok, Pam now you have to start posting again!!! This is a great holiday dessert for us!!!

Hope you enjoy the recipe. I know we did!!!

Oh yeah i'll definitely be making this one. I made homemade sticky buns this morning and they turned out great - used splenda brown sugar instead of regular. Only thing I couldn't find was sf vanilla pudding mix - you can't use instant in the recipe. I'll post the recipe tomorrow. Too hard to do on my iPhone.

Sounds like a trigger I don't want to experience.  Its dangerous to make something really good when you live alone.

Nan, I"m with you....this one sounds TOO good!

Nan,

I wouldn't make it for me at home either, but it is a nice thing to take to someone's house for the holidays. They won't even know it is sugar free!! I took it to Liz's and it disappeared....

Yum! I think I will make this for the family Christmas weekend. See, I'm "planning" on cooking.

Love ya,

Beth

I may attempt to make these for wednesday....Yikes all this baking. I will need an apron soon!
