Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 ounces or about 226 grams) refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 1 cup (about 150 grams) fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 4 ounces (about 115 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (30 grams) powdered sugar for filling
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (28 grams) melted butter for brushing rolls
  • For the glaze:
  • 1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Macerate the strawberries: In a small bowl, toss the chopped strawberries with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Make the cream cheese filling: Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy (about 5 minutes).
  3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles.
  5. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese filling evenly on each triangle, leaving a small border at the edges.
  6. Spoon about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the macerated strawberries onto the cream cheese layer, avoiding excess juice.
  7. Roll each triangle starting at the wide end into a crescent shape, tucking in edges to seal the filling inside. Place on baking sheet curve side down with space between rolls.
  8. Lightly brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter.
  9. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  10. While baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
  11. After baking, let rolls cool for about 5 minutes, then drizzle glaze over the top.
  12. Serve warm for best results.

Notes

Do not overload the filling to prevent soggy dough or leaks. Seal edges firmly, optionally moisten with water. Use softened cream cheese and butter for smooth rolling. Watch baking time carefully to avoid dryness. Chilling stuffed rolls before baking can improve shape and puffiness. Fresh ripe strawberries yield best texture and flavor. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained well.
