Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix until smooth and well blended using an electric mixer or whisk.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles on a clean, flat surface.
- Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly across each crescent dough triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining sugar and cinnamon to create a cinnamon-sugar topping.
- Roll up each crescent triangle from the wide end to the point, ensuring the cream cheese filling is enclosed inside.
- Place the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll.
- Brush the tops of the rolls generously with melted butter.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered rolls, ensuring even coverage.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. The filling will be hot, so allow them to rest briefly.
- Serve warm and enjoy the creamy, sweet, and cinnamon-spiced crescent rolls.
Tips
- Ensure your cream cheese is completely softened at room temperature for a smooth, lump-free filling.
- Use a light touch when rolling the crescents to prevent squeezing out the delicious cream cheese mixture.
- For extra richness, try using vanilla-infused sugar in your cinnamon-sugar topping.
- If the rolls are browning too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Let the rolls cool for a few minutes to allow the filling to set and prevent burning your mouth.
- For a gourmet twist, add a drizzle of vanilla glaze after baking for extra sweetness.
- These rolls are best served warm, so time your baking just before you plan to serve them.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the microwave or oven.
