Ingredients
For the Rolls:
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese softened
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or mixed berries, chopped if large)
Optional Glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- You can also add a small amount of lemon zest to brighten the filling especially if using blueberries.
Instructions
Preheat and Prep
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Make the Cream Cheese Filling
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the berries. If using strawberries, chop them into small pieces. If using frozen berries, thaw and pat them dry thoroughly to prevent excess moisture.
Prepare the Crescent Dough
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles along the perforated lines.
Fill and Roll
- Place about 1 tablespoon of the berry cream cheese mixture at the wide end of each triangle.
- Carefully roll the dough toward the narrow tip, tucking the filling inside. Lightly seal the edges if needed to prevent leakage.
Bake
- Place the stuffed crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
Add the Glaze (Optional)
- Allow the rolls to cool slightly. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth, then drizzle over the warm pastries.
- Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
