Kiwi Fruit Danish is a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors. The cream cheese filling complements the tanginess of the kiwi fruits, which are arranged beautifully on top of the pastry. The apricot jam adds sweetness and a shiny glaze, making the pastry look more appealing. This pastry can be enjoyed as a dessert or a breakfast pastry with a cup of coffee. It's easy to make and can be a great addition to a brunch party menu or as an afternoon treat with your family and friends.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 375°F.
2.	Unroll the crescent rolls and separate into triangles. Place them on a baking sheet.
3.	In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, egg yolk, sugar, and almond extract. Beat until well combined.
4.	Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly onto the center of each triangle.
5.	Arrange the sliced kiwi fruits on top of the cream cheese mixture.
6.	Fold the edges of the triangles towards the center, forming a Danish.
7.	Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
