Easy Mango Cream Cheese Danish

As many of you know, I have two mango trees. The mangoes are coming fast and furious. I have made so many things with mangoes, that when my husband comes home from work he says, "what are we having with our mangoes tonight?"

This year I made mango jam for the first time. It turned out great. As I am looking at all of these jars of mango jam, I thought what am I going to do with them? I began to look at recipes. I found this Easy Cream Cheese Danish over at Allrecipes that I liked and thought I could modify it to fit with my mango jam. Recipe is listed below.

You place a package of  crescent rolls on the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan, making sure to join the seams. It calls for lightly greasing the pan. Not sure if I would do this next time. Seemed a little buttery.

Next mix up the cream cheese layer. I didn't use all of it since I was adding the jam.

I put the mango jam on top of this layer. (forgot to take a picture with the jam on)

Finally, added the second layer of crescent rolls on top. This was a bit tricky because of the jam. Make sure the dough is cold.

Bake it for 25 -35 minutes. I baked mine for 25 and I think it could have used another 5 minutes. Let it cool and then frost.

You can make them with just  cream cheese or use any type of jam that you like.

I sent them to my husband's work and they loved it. You might like to check out my mango cheese cake.

  1. Your directions say to add sour cream-it's not in the recipe.
