How To Make Easter Bunny Danishes

I used the always convenient Pillsbury crescent rolls to construct my bunnies.

The crescents are perfect for making flakey layers that melt in your mouth!

SHAPE CRESCENT DOUGH

Start by separating the crescent dough into rectangles.

Carefully separate the rectangle into two triangles and then overlap them, so the shorter, fatter side of the triangle is on the bottom, and the two pointy parts are at the top.

Once you have the triangles overlapped, shape the top points into floppy bunny ears, and gently pinch in the middle to create the bunny’s “neck.”

MAKE DANISH FILLING

Whisk together the egg yolk, sugar and cream cheese until it’s nice and smooth, then dollop it in the middle of the “belly” of the bunny.

Fold up the bottom two corners to look like the bunny’s feet, and tuck them over the danish filling.

The cream cheese middle is lightly sweetened and oh-so creamy! The danish isn’t overly sweet, but you could definitely add a nice powdered sugar drizzle over the top to sweetened them up even more.

ADD BUNNY TAIL

To add a cute little bunny tail to these Easter Bunny Danishes, I left two crescent rolls rolled up, then used a sharp knife to cut little swirls. Pinch the dough to the bunny to help attach it.

BRUSH WITH EGG WHITES

Just before adding the eyes and nose, brush the whole thing with a lightly beaten egg white so they get a gorgeous golden brown color when baked.

ADD DETAILS

I simply used two mini chocolate chips for the eyes and a heart shaped sprinkle for the nose.

Um… how adorable are these?!?! And seriously… so delicious!
