Mini Cherry Cheese Danishes

This recipe was born from the leftovers I had when making my chocolate cherry cream cheesecake. I still had some of the cream cheese mixture and cherry pie filling left over and I really didn’t want to throw it away. I looked online to see if I could get some ideas and I found something similar and I thought, I’m going to make mini cheesecakes.
Apparently a lot of people use refrigerated dough to make these kinds of recipes. I was surprised to find “rounds” of croissant dough. I had never seen them before. I thought maybe I should take the traditional croissant dough and pinch the seams to get the rounds I needed. I was glad I didn’t have to do this work, that it was already done for me.

Ingredients

1 Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
flour, just for dusting
Filling
4 ounces of soft cream cheese
⅓ cup of sugar
vanilla splash
1 box of cherry pie filling
Icing
⅓ cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons of milk

Instructions

Open the roll container and do not unroll the rolls. Use a sharp, serrated knife to cut them like cookie slices. Make 10 slices.
Place each slice on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Use a measuring cup to flatten each roll and build a small wall around it.
Use a drop of flour to keep it from sticking and press with your fingertips.
Filling
Electrically mix the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth.
Pour a small amount into each “Danish”.
Add a teaspoon of cherries.
Bake in the oven at 350 for 18-20 minutes.
Allow to cool and add a drizzle of icing.
Icing
Mix the milk and sugar and sprinkle over the Danishes. You can use a piping bag if you wish.

BANANA PUDDING TACOS WITH VANILLA WAFER

INGREDIENTS:

10 snack packs (1 oz. each bag) mini Nilla Wafers

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (125g) granulated sugar, divided

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 can (12 oz.) evaporated milk or 1 1/2 cups whole milk

2 eggs, lightly beaten

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3-4 firm, ripe bananas

1/2 tablespoon lemon juice

1 1/4 cups (280g) heavy whipping cream

10 maraschino cherries

10 disposable Birchware spoons

DIRECTIONS:

Open each snack pack and pour half the contents of each bag into a large bowl. Stand the bags upright in a baking dish leaning against each other.Open each snack pack and pour half the contents of each bag into a large bowl. Stand the bags upright in a baking dish leaning against each other.

Place 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch and milk into a medium saucepan and whisk until combined. Cook over medium-high heat until the mixture begins to bubble, whisking constantly. Remove the saucepan from the heat and gradually pour the eggs into the pan in a thin stream (tempering them) while whisking vigorously. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until thick and smooth, again whisking constantly.

When the mixture is thick, remove from the heat and stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla. Stir constantly until the butter is melted and well-incorporated. Pour the pudding in a separate bowl and set aside to cool slightly.

Chop the bananas into rounds and toss them in a bowl with the lemon juice until all of the bananas are covered. This will prevent them from browning.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream on high speed until it starts to thicken. Gradually add in the remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a fancy decorator tip, if desired. Otherwise just have a spoon ready for dolloping.

Assembly: Pour two rounded tablespoons of pudding over the wafers in each of the bags. Top with a few banana slices and more vanilla wafers. Layer one rounded tablespoon of pudding on top of the wafers, top with additional banana slices and wafers. Pipe or dollop whipped cream on top and garnish each bag with a maraschino cherry. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 1-2 hours so the wafers become soft. Place a disposable spoon in each bag before serving.

Enjoy!!!
