If you need a quick, easy and delicious dessert this Nutella & Cream Cheese Danish has got you covered! Nutella is mixed with cream cheese and a little bit of powdered sugar then baked in a croissant dough. The croissants make a flaky dough which holds all that creamy nutella goodness in. Drizzle a little bit of nutella on top, sprinkle with powdered sugar and then you’re ready to sink your teeth into a delicious danish! This recipe is simple to make, comes together in a matter of minutes, and it’s perfect for dessert or breakfast.
Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) can croissant dough (crescent rolls)
1 (8 ounce) block of cream cheese, softened
2/3 C powdered sugar
3 Tbs. Nutella
some extra Nutella, melted
a little powdered sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees; grease a cookie sheet.
Cream together the cream cheese and powdered sugar.
Mix in nutella until combined; set aside.
Unroll croissant dough and arrange it into a circle onto the cookie sheet.
Spread the filling along the inside of the dough.
Take the dough and flip it over the filling; press to seal the edges.
Cut the excess edges off and place them over the rest of the openings.
Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes; until golden brown.
Drizzle on the melted nutella and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Slice, serve and enjoy!

Thanks for the recipe. I have this in the oven right now as one of the Nutella inspired Mother's Day desserts to bring to my mom's.
Just about anything with Nutella is thumbs up with me.:) I think i could probably put it on eggs instead of catsup and still find it delicious. 🙂 This recipe sounds so yummy! <3
Omg This was sooo delicious!! I've made this real quick tonight as I had the ingredients on hand already and wanted dessert that wasn't too sweet. These are to die for! Love love LOVE this! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Shelly for the kind comment 🙂 I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed it!
I tried it with both croissant and puff pastry dough. Liked puff pastry much better (although it takes a few more minutes to bake). Also added crushed walnuts to the cream cheese and Nutella mix for a more nuttier filling. Liked it, too. Couldn't figure out how to melt Nutella to the point that it could be drizzled (microwave did not help).
I'm so happy you enjoyed it 🙂
