Author:Chef Sally
Ingredients
Scale
1 can (227 g) crescent roll dough or puff pastry
227 g cream cheese, softened
50 g granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
120 ml unsalted butter, melted
100 g granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Combine softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Stir until completely smooth and homogeneous.
Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a flat surface, gently pressing seams together to form small rectangles.
Place 1 to 2 teaspoons of cream cheese filling in the center of each rectangle. Fold over the dough to enclose the filling and seal the edges firmly.
Arrange filled rolls on a parchment-lined baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown. Alternatively, cook in an air fryer at 175°C for 6–8 minutes until golden.
While still warm, brush each roll with melted butter. Immediately roll the coated rolls in a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until fully covered.
Serve warm for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling consistency.
