Print Recipe

A simple and indulgent dessert featuring creamy cheesecake filling wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough, baked to golden perfection in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package crescent roll dough (about 8 oz / 227 g)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Unroll the crescent dough onto your baking sheet or dish. Gently press the perforations to seal the dough into one solid rectangle.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Fold in lemon zest if using.
  4. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the crescent dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
  5. Carefully roll the dough up from one long side like a jelly roll, keeping the filling inside. Pinch the edges to seal.
  6. Cut the rolled dough into 8 equal slices.
  7. Arrange the slices standing up with the cut side facing up on the baking sheet, leaving space between each roll.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until rolls are golden brown and filling is set but still creamy. Tent with foil if browning too fast.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
  10. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Press crescent roll seams firmly to prevent filling leakage. Tent with foil if rolls brown too quickly. Let rolls cool before slicing to firm up filling. Optional additions include lemon zest, mini chocolate chips, or fruit preserves.
