Ingredients

For the Danishes

2 cans Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits

1 cup cherry pie filling

1 cup blueberry pie filling

For the Vanilla Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Dough

Separate the biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each biscuit into a circle about 4 inches wide. Press the center gently to create a shallow well while leaving a raised border around the edges.

3. Add the Filling

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of fruit filling into the center of each biscuit. Use either cherry, blueberry, or a combination of both.

4. Bake

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

5. Cool Slightly

Remove from the oven and allow the danishes to cool for about 5 minutes.

6. Make the Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

7. Finish and Serve

Drizzle the glaze over the warm pastries. Let it set for a few minutes before serving.

Helpful Tips

Avoid overfilling the pastries to prevent spills.

Keep the biscuit dough chilled until ready to use.

Create a deeper center indentation to help hold the filling.

Drizzle the glaze while the pastries are still slightly warm for the best appearance.

Flavor Variations

Try different fillings such as:

Strawberry pie filling

Apple pie filling

Peach pie filling

Raspberry preserves

Mixed berry filling

Storage

Store leftover danishes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheating

Warm in the microwave for 10–15 seconds or in a 300°F oven for about 5 minutes.

Freezing

Freeze the baked pastries without glaze for up to 2 months. Thaw and add fresh glaze before serving.
