Kitchen Notes:

• You can make this Danish with low-fat cream cheese and a sugar substitute like Splenda for a delicious alternative.
• The original recipe calls for a generously filled Danish. If you prefer a lighter filling, halve the ingredients, using 1 package of cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 whole egg, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Adjust the baking time to around 30-35 minutes when using the reduced filling.
