Ingredients You’ll Need

This recipe uses simple ingredients you may already have at home.

For the Rolls

• 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or mixed berries), chopped if large

Optional Glaze

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1–2 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

You can also add a small amount of lemon zest to brighten the flavor, especially when using blueberries.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling

In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Gently fold in the berries. If using strawberries, chop them small. If using frozen berries, thaw and pat them dry to remove extra moisture.

3. Prepare the Crescent Dough

Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles along the lines.

4. Fill and Roll

Place about 1 tablespoon of filling on the wide end of each triangle.
Roll toward the narrow tip and tuck the filling inside. Lightly seal edges if needed.

5. Bake

Place rolls on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and flaky.

6. Add the Glaze (Optional)

Let rolls cool slightly. Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Drizzle over warm rolls and serve.

Serve warm for the best taste and texture.

Tips for Perfect Crescent Rolls

Small details make these rolls even better:

• Do not overfill to avoid leaking
• Pat berries dry to prevent soggy dough
• Use room-temperature cream cheese for smooth filling
• Bake until golden brown
• Let cool slightly before adding glaze

A little filling may leak while baking. This is normal and still tastes great.

How to Store, Freeze, and Reheat

Storing

Keep leftover rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheating

Reheat in oven at 325°F for 5–7 minutes for best texture.
Microwave for 15–20 seconds if needed, but pastry will be softer.

Freezing

Freeze baked rolls up to 2 months in a freezer-safe bag.
You can also freeze unbaked rolls and bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
