- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. -
Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling
In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until smooth and creamy. -
Roll Out the Crescent Dough
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the triangles on the prepared baking sheet. -
Assemble the Crescent Rolls
Spoon a small amount of the cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each crescent dough triangle. Roll the dough up, starting from the wide end, to form crescent-shaped rolls. -
Bake
Bake the crescent rolls in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. -
Serve
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- For a fun variation, you can add a bit of cinnamon or lemon zest to the cream cheese filling.
- Be sure to watch the rolls carefully as they bake to avoid overbaking them and losing the golden color.
- You can also drizzle the rolls with a little glaze made from powdered sugar and milk for an extra touch.
