- Powdered Sugar - Lightly sweetens the filling of these cheese Danishes. It also makes up the sweet glaze for the top.

- Egg Yolk - Not only brings richness to the filling but also helps it slightly puff as it bakes.
- Sugar - Used with the egg wash to create a slightly caramelized exterior to these sweet rolls.
- Sliced Almonds - Gives a little buttery crunch to every bite.
- Egg Wash - One egg whisked together with a tablespoon of water gives these rolls a glossy finish.
- Dairy Free Milk - Use your favorite variety, such as oat milk. Helps thin out the glaze so it can easily be drizzled over the top.
