Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 egg yolk
Filling Ingredients:
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping Ingredients:
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- Fruit preserves (optional)
- Fresh fruit (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Blend 8 ounces softened cream cheese, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 egg yolk in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate each triangle on a clean surface.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of cheesecake filling onto the wider end of each dough triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Gently roll each triangle from the wide end to the point, tucking the sides slightly to prevent filling from leaking.
- Place rolled crescents 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the pointed end is underneath.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes until the rolls turn golden brown and the filling is set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
- Dust the warm rolls with ¼ cup powdered sugar using a fine-mesh sieve.
- Serve immediately with optional fruit preserves or fresh fruit on the side for extra flavor.
Notes
- Check the cream cheese temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling.
- Seal the edges of the crescent rolls carefully to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Use cold cream cheese straight from the refrigerator for the best texture and consistency.
- Sprinkle a light dusting of powdered sugar on top after cooling for an elegant finishing touch.
