This Copycat Starbucks Air Fried Cheese Danish recipe offers a delightful homemade version of the popular bakery treat. Using crescent rolls and a creamy sweetened cream cheese filling, it’s quick to assemble and cooked to golden perfection in an air fryer. Perfect for breakfast or a tasty snack with your favorite coffee.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 8 oz Crescent Rolls (typically one tube or can)

Filling

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a mixer or whisk until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined, about 4 minutes.
  2. Form the dough base: Open the crescent roll dough and lay it flat on a clean surface. Take two triangular crescent rolls and press their edges together to form one rectangle. Use your fingers to crimp the corners tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.
  3. Add the filling: Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each formed rectangle. Spread it gently toward the edges without going over the sealed seams.
  4. Air fry the danish: Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Carefully place the filled danish into the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Remove the cheese danishes from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Serve warm alongside your favorite coffee or beverage for a delightful breakfast or snack.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for smoother mixing.
  • Be careful when sealing the crescent roll edges to prevent the filling from leaking.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model; check for golden color and doneness.
  • You can dust the finished danish with powdered sugar or drizzle with icing for extra sweetness.
  • To avoid sticking, you may line the air fryer basket with parchment paper perforated for air circulation.
