Ah! You’re talking about the fun Cheesecake Crescent Rolls — a quick, easy dessert that combines cream cheese, sugar, and crescent roll dough into little sweet treats. Here’s a detailed recipe:
Ingredients (makes about 8 rolls):
- 1 can crescent roll dough (8-count)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: cinnamon sugar, chocolate chips, fruit preserves, powdered sugar glaze
Instructions:
- Preheat oven:
- Set to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the filling:
- In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Optional: Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Prepare the crescent dough:
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles.
- Fill the rolls:
- Place about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture at the wide end of each triangle.
- Optional: Add a few chocolate chips, a small spoon of fruit preserves, or berries.
- Roll them up:
- Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle toward the tip.
- Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Optional: Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar before baking.
- Bake:
- Bake 10–12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Optional glaze:
- Mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1–2 teaspoons milk and drizzle over the warm rolls for extra sweetness.
✅ Tips & Variations:
- For mini cheesecakes, use mini crescent rolls or cut triangles in half.
- Add a fruit swirl by placing a small dab of jam under the cream cheese.
- These are best served warm but keep well in an airtight container for 1–2 days.
