Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (8 oz each) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Set the filling aside.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles according to the perforations.
Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese filling onto the wider end of each triangle.
Carefully roll each triangle starting from the wider end and rolling towards the tip to form a crescent shape. Ensure the filling is sealed within by pinching any open edges gently.
Place the filled crescents onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk to create an egg wash. Lightly brush the egg wash over each crescent to give a golden, shiny finish after baking.
Bake the crescents for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove from the oven and allow the crescents to cool slightly on a wire rack.
If desired, dust the cooled crescents with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
