Raspberry Crescent Rolls Recipe:

This recipe is a perfect example of how a few simple ingredients can be transformed into something special. Whether you’re serving them at a gathering or enjoying a quiet morning, these rolls are sure to impress.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Directions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the oven is hot enough to bake the rolls to perfection.
  2. Prepare Dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough and separate the dough into triangles along the perforated lines. Lay them out on your work surface ready for filling.
  3. Mix Filling: In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with sugar until smooth. This sweetened cream cheese will add a rich, creamy texture to the filling.
  4. Add Fillings: Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on each triangle, leaving a small margin around the edges to prevent leaking. Then, add a small spoonful of raspberry preserves on top of the cream cheese. The raspberry adds a lovely tangy flavor that complements the cream cheese beautifully.
  5. Roll the Crescents: Roll up the triangles starting at the wider end and place them point-side down on a baking sheet. This helps the rolls maintain their shape and ensures even baking.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up. Watch them closely towards the end to avoid over-browning.
  7. Dust and Serve: Once the rolls are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving to add a touch of sweetness and a professional finish.

Serve and Enjoy

Raspberry Crescent Rolls are best served warm, with the powdered sugar melting slightly into the warm rolls. They’re perfect for serving at holiday brunches, as part of a breakfast buffet, or simply as a sweet treat to brighten up your day. The combination of flaky pastry, creamy cheese, and tangy raspberry is sure to delight your taste buds.
