Cinnamon Sugar Cream Cheese Rolls

Buttery pastry wraps rich cream cheese with cinnamon sugar for a warm, sweet dessert or snack.

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

  1. Combine softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Stir until completely smooth and homogeneous.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a flat surface, gently pressing seams together to form small rectangles.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Serve warm for optimal flavor and texture.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling consistency.
