Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (8 ounces) crescent roll dough
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup raspberry preserves
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Open the package of crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforations.
Spread about 1 teaspoon of raspberry preserves onto the wider end of each triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on top of the raspberry preserves, spreading it slightly.
Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end to the tip, forming a crescent shape. Place the crescents onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the tops of the crescents.
Sprinkle each crescent with a pinch of granulated sugar for added sweetness and crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and puffed.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the crescents cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
