Ingredients in a Danish Kringle
These ingredients are classic; you probably have most of them in your pantry! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for all of the exact measurements.
Dough
Bread Flour: This helps give this Danish Kringle the perfect texture. Sugar: This is what makes the recipe sweet! Active Dry Yeast: 1 packet is just the right amount! Salt: The salt enhances all of the flavors in the dough. Butter: I use unsalted butter in this recipe. Keep it in the fridge so it stays cold until you use it. Milk: I use whole milk in this recipe. Egg: This helps bind all of the ingredients together.
Filling
Marzipan: You can make this from scratch with this marzipan recipe, or you can buy it pre-made from the store to save time!
Egg wash
Egg White and Water: Mixing these two ingredients will create an egg wash to make this Danish Kringle nice and golden brown.
Frosting
Powdered Sugar: This creates a sweet flavor that dissolves easily, making it nice and creamy. Water: This helps turn the sugar into a glaze. Vanilla and Almond Extract: These flavor the frosting, adding to that almond flavor. Sliced Almonds: These are optional and can be used as a topping on this Danish Kringle.
How to Make A Danish Kringle at Home
This recipe makes TWO kringles, so it’s perfect for serving a crowd. You can even make the dough ahead of time and bake it fresh when you are ready!

Change the filling: This kringle is a classic almond kringle, but you can get creative and use other fillings such as cherry pie filling, apple pie filling, pumpkin, cheesecake, and more! Save time: If you are short on time, store-bought marzipan can be used instead of homemade marzipan. Danishes: I love a delicious home-baked Danish. Check out some more of my favorites like this Cheese Danish, this Apple Danish or this yummy Strawberry Cream Cheese Danish!
Storing your baked Danish Kringle: Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the fridge for a week. Can I make this ahead of time? Yes! You can assemble the kringle and keep it covered in the fridge overnight, then bake it fresh the next day.
