Ingredients
For the Crescent Rolls
- 1 can (230–250 g) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 120 g (4 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup strawberry jam or preserves
For Brushing
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
For the White Chocolate Drizzle
- ½ cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or cream (optional, for smoothness)
Preparing the Cream Cheese Filling
In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy with no lumps. Set aside.
Assembling the Crescent Rolls
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. On the wide end of each triangle, spread about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture.
Add 1–2 teaspoons of strawberry jam on top of the cream cheese. Be careful not to overfill to avoid leaking.
Starting from the wide end, gently roll the dough toward the pointed end, forming a crescent shape. Place seam-side down on the baking tray.
Baking
Lightly brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter for extra golden color.
Bake for 11–14 minutes, or until the crescents are puffed and lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Making the White Chocolate Drizzle
Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Add a teaspoon of oil or cream if needed for a drizzle-friendly consistency.
Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle the white chocolate over the warm (not hot) crescent rolls.
