Delight in these easy-to-make Cheesecake Crescent Rolls, featuring fluffy crescent dough filled with a smooth, sweetened cream cheese mixture, baked to golden perfection and topped with buttery cinnamon sugar. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

Crescent Rolls

  • 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • Cinnamon sugar for sprinkling (about 2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with butter or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend using a hand mixer or spoon until smooth and creamy without any lumps.
  3. Prepare the Crescent Roll Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean, dry surface. Separate the dough along perforated lines into individual triangles, handling gently to avoid tears.
  4. Assemble the Rolls: Spread a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each crescent triangle, taking care not to overfill to prevent leakage during baking. Roll each triangle from the wider end toward the narrow tip to form crescent shapes.
  5. Apply the Toppings: Arrange the filled crescent rolls on the baking sheet with some space between them. Brush each roll with melted butter, then generously sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the tops.
  6. Bake the Rolls: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the rolls are golden brown, flaky, and crisp, with creamy filling inside.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey for extra sweetness and presentation.

Notes

  • Do not overfill the crescent rolls to avoid filling leakage during baking.
  • Use softened cream cheese at room temperature for a smoother filling.
  • For added flavor, dust the baked rolls with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey before serving.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for 1-2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • These rolls are best enjoyed warm but can be eaten at room temperature as well.
