I whipped up a batch of Air Fryer Copycat Starbucks Cheese Danish for breakfast this morning. They are truly unique 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 fantastic; they taste just like Starbucks!

Other Ways to Change Out This Recipe 

While this is the original version sold at Starbucks in the United States, you can easily change it; here are some great suggestions.

  • Add some cherry pie filling to the center.
  • Add some jam or preserves to the center.
  • Mix some ground cinnamon and sugar into the filling

There are so many ways to dress up and serve this pastry. 

What To Do With Leftover Crescent Dough

Don’t throw away the leftover dough from this recipe; you can use it in many ways; place the leftover dough into an airtight container until you need it again.

It will only last in the refrigerator for a couple of days.

Pro Tips:

  • Make sure to leave space between each danish so they cook evenly in the air fryer. 
    Feel free to check on the danish.
  • If you find that the bottom is not cooking, you can flip the pastry over to ensure they are cooked evenly. Depending on how your air fryer cooks, you might need to extend or pull the cheese danish at a different time than in the recipe card.
  • Feel free to change up the filling if you want a different flavor.
