Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 1 package of crescent roll dough
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of sugar, and mix until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with ground cinnamon and set aside.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangles.
- Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each dough triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Roll up each triangle from the wide end to the point, creating a crescent shape.
- Place the rolled pastries on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffy.
- While rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
- Remove rolls from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Drizzle the glaze over warm rolls and serve immediately.
Tips
- Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature for a smooth, lump-free filling.
- Use a light touch when spreading the cream cheese to prevent tearing the delicate crescent dough.
- For extra richness, use full-fat cream cheese and real butter.
- Make sure your oven is fully preheated for even baking and golden-brown perfection.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - give each roll some breathing room.
- Let the rolls cool slightly before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting completely.
- For a professional bakery look, use a piping bag or zip-lock bag with a corner cut to drizzle the glaze evenly.
- These rolls are best served warm, so time your baking just before serving for maximum deliciousness!
