Ingredients
For the Crescent Rolls
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough 8-count
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mixed berries chopped if large
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest optional
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
For the Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Make the cream cheese filling
- In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the lemon zest if using.
Step 3: Prepare the dough
- Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Add the filling
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Add a few berries on top of the filling.
Step 5: Roll the crescents
- Starting at the wide end, gently roll each crescent toward the pointed end. Try to keep the filling tucked inside as you roll.
Step 6: Brush with butter
- Brush the tops of the crescent rolls with melted butter. This helps them bake up golden and soft.
Step 7: Bake
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are puffed and golden brown.
Step 8: Make the glaze
- While the rolls cool slightly, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Start with 1 tablespoon of milk and add more if needed.
Step 9: Drizzle and serve
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm crescent rolls. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
