For breakfast this morning, I whipped up a batch of Air Fryer Copycat Starbucks Cheese Danish. They are truly amazing and baked up so great in my air fryer!

My son loves these at Starbucks, but they come with a pretty hefty price tag (for my budget), so I searched for an easy recipe. Once I found a recipe for them using Crescent Rolls, I knew I was all set. I am quickly becoming a master of Cresent rolls in the air fryer.

These only require a few ingredients, and the taste is awesome; they taste just like Starbucks!

How To Make Air Fryer Copycat Starbucks Cheese Danish

Ingredients Needed

Crescent Rolls
Cream Cheese
Pure Vanilla Extract
Granulated Sugar

Steps Needed To Make These

In a large mixing bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla.

Set the crescent dough onto a greased air fryer baking tray, and then place about 2 tablespoons of filling in the middle. Layout two of the crescent rolls (you could use the sheets) and seal the seams together with your fingers; just pinch the sides together. To fold it, make a triangle with the sides and then fold the sides up. Set the tray in the air fryer oven for 4 minutes at 320 degrees F. (air frying setting)
