I made a whole lot of cherry pie filling, and cherries and cheesecakes go together beautifully, so I decided to put them together in a Danish. You can either make your own cherry pie filling or you could even use a store bought cherry preserve (Bonne Maman has one that would work well) to make this.
Watch this space for a video on how to shape Danishes in a bunch of different ways next weekend!
