How to Make Air Fryer Cherry Cream Cheese Danish

Use a mixer to blend the cream cheese, egg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Set aside. 

Cut your crescent dough into smaller, triangular pieces for the Danish. Roll up the sides a little on the edges to create a slight crust for each to keep the filling in.

Spread the cream cheese mixture into the middle of each dough piece. Then, add a tbsp of cherry pie filling to the top. 

Place each Danish into the air fryer basket; depending on the size of your basket, you may need to do more than one batch.  Air fry for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown!

Remove from the air fryer. Place on a cooling rack. Mix the confectioner’s sugar and heavy whipping cream to create the glaze.  Once the Danish are thoroughly cooled,  drizzle each Danish with the glaze.

How To Make These in The Oven:

You can also make these in the oven. To bake, follow the directions in the recipe and then place them on a greased baking sheet.

Place the baking sheet into a preheated oven at 375 degrees F, and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving.

How To Store:

IF you have any leftovers, let them cool to room temperature, and then place them into an airtight container. Skip the plastic bag. Otherwise, the filling will end up squished.

Place the container into the refrigerator, lasting about 2 to 3 days. After that, dispose of them.
