The Original Danish Dough Whisk – LARGE 13.5 Kitchen Notes:

I have made this danish using low fat cream cheese and splenda (sugar substitute) and it was delicious!

Also, the amount of filling the original recipe calls for makes a VERY heavily filled danish. I have halved the filling using 1 package of cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 whole egg, and a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and it was still very good.

If you use the half filling method, bake for closer to 30-35 minutes.
