Easy Strawberry Danish Recipe

• 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tube Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
• 1/2 cup strawberries (about 4 large), sliced (see note)
• 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 375u0b0F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. : In a medium bowl, whisk cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add egg yolks, vanilla, and salt and whisk until combined. Set aside.
3. Open Crescent Rolls and remove from container. Unroll crescents onto prepared baking sheet but do not separate the triangles. Use your finger to patch together any holes-you want to have one long rectangle of dough.
4. Place rectangle of dough so that one short end faces you. Spread filling down the center of the dough to be about 3 inches wide. Place strawberries along top of filling.
5. Use a sharp knife to cut 1/2-inch wide strips up one side of the dough. Repeat on other side. Alternate pulling the just-cut strips of dough from each side towards the middle to form a braid. Tuck in extra end pieces under the braid. Bake until pastry is golden and filling is cooked, about 20 minutes. Let cool.
6. : In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners sugar and heavy cream until smooth. Drizzle over pastry. Let sit 15 minutes or until set.
