Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • Cinnamon sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat and Prepare: Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  • Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
  • Assemble Rolls: Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture on each dough triangle. Starting from the wider end, roll up the dough to form a crescent shape.
  • Apply Toppings: Place the rolled crescents on your prepared baking sheet. Brush each one with melted butter and sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
  • Serve Warm: These crescent rolls are best served warm. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey for an extra touch of sweetness.

Notes

  • For an extra touch of sweetness, consider adding a drizzle of honey over the rolls once they’re baked.
  • You can experiment with different toppings, such as chocolate drizzle or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, to elevate the dessert.
