Ingredients

  • 15 Rhodes rolls
  • 45 raspberries about 2 pints
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon divided
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted

Glaze

  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon almond flavoring
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • To prepare the dough, spray a 15x10 cooking pan with cooking oil, place 15 Rhodes rolls on the pan, 3 rows with 5 rolls in each row. Set a towel over the rolls and allow the rolls to rise. Set aside for 2-2 ½ hours. 
  • Once rolls are risen, use a pair of scissors and cut into the roll, like pictured. Use your fingers to spread out the dough to make a pocket, like pictured below.
  • In the pocket add a generous tablespoon of cream cheese to the pocket. Top with 3-4 raspberries, like pictured. Repeat with remaining rolls. 
  • Once all of the rolls are filled, pinch the sides to seal and close up the roll, as there may be some separation from cutting the rolls originally.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl mix together brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of white sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the rolls. Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Remove rolls from oven and immediately brush with melted butter and sprinkle with remaining sugar and cinnamon. 
  • Make glaze by mixing all of the ingredients together until smooth. Drizzle glaze over Danishes, then serve.

Notes

Total time includes the 2 hours for the rolls to rise.
