🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 (8 oz) tube crescent roll dough (or puff pastry if you prefer)
- 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Toppings:
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Fruit jam or pie filling for a fruity twist
- Cinnamon sugar for extra flavor
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Oven & Baking Sheet
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling
In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. You can use a hand mixer or just a fork if you’re in a hurry.
3. Assemble the Crescent Rolls
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the dough into individual triangles. Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each triangle.
Roll each triangle tightly, starting at the wide end and rolling toward the tip.
4. Bake to Golden Perfection
Place the rolled-up crescent dough on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the filling is soft and gooey inside.
5. Add Toppings (Optional)
Once the crescent rolls are done, let them cool slightly. For an extra touch, sprinkle with powdered sugar, drizzle with fruit jam, or top with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
