Lemon Cheesecake Crescent Rolls

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with non-stick cooking spray.

2. Make the Lemon Cheesecake Filling

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

3. Prepare the Crescent Rolls

  • Open the can of crescent roll dough and separate the triangles. Lay the dough triangles flat on the prepared baking sheet.

4. Add the Filling

  • Place about 1 tablespoon of the lemon cheesecake filling at the wider end of each crescent dough triangle.
  • Gently roll up each triangle, starting at the wide end, tucking in the filling as you roll toward the narrow end.

5. Brush with Butter and Sprinkle Sugar

  • Brush the tops of the rolled crescent rolls with the melted butter and sprinkle with a little granulated sugar for extra sweetness.

6. Bake

  • Bake the crescent rolls in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked through.

7. Cool and Serve

  • Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving.
  • For an extra touch, dust the rolls with powdered sugar before serving.
