These Strawberry Cheesecake Crescents are a delightful twist on the classic crescent rolls, filled with a creamy cheesecake filling and topped with fresh strawberries. They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet dessert treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
- In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture onto each crescent roll triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Top each with a few diced strawberries and a drizzle of lemon juice.
- Carefully roll the crescent rolls from the wide end to the tip, securing the filling inside.
- Place the rolled crescents onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescents are golden brown and the filling is bubbling slightly.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, top with extra fresh strawberries for garnish.
Notes
- For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle with a bit of honey or chocolate sauce after baking.
- Feel free to use other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or peaches as a filling variation.
- Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
