Strawberry Cheesecake Crescent Rolls Recipe
I love an easy little dessert recipe that requires almost no prep and barely any clean up! The filling in these rolls is just jam, strawberries, and cream cheese – that’s it. We’re wrapping it all up in store bought dough to cap this recipe off. Not that these crescent rolls really require a recipe, because they are about as simple as you can get. Simple, delicious, little to no clean up, I’d even bring the kids in if you’d like and get them rolling up these little treats! This recipe is not about expanding our culinary adventures, but this is really all about satisfying our sweet tooth.
Ingredients
Crescent Rolls – I used store bought to ensure that this dish was as quick and easy as possible. If you’d like to make your own I’ve included instructions in another section below. Cream cheese – I used regular full fat cream cheese but feel free to use fat reduced if you’d like. Jam – I used strawberry jam today but feel free to use any kind you like but look for something that is seedless ideally. Strawberries – All chopped up, if you’re using a different flavored jam then use the corresponding fruit. Egg – For egg wash to get a beautiful golden brown crust on our little pastries. Sugar – Turbinado sugar is what I used, which is a natural brown sugar. Feel free to use granulated or coconut sugar if that’s what you have on hand.

Can I Make My Own Dough?
Yes you can if you’d really like to go that extra mile! For those of you who don’t have crescent rolls that comes out of a can, you can make it yourselves. I would use the dough recipe from my turkey bites, it’s fairly simple to make and it’s a nice and soft dough.
Leftovers
Fridge
These tasty little treats will keep in the fridge for 3 – 4 days if kept in an airtight container.
Freezer
For advanced preparation: You can assemble the crescent rolls through Step 3 and freeze them up to a month. First place the crescents on the baking sheet and place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the crescents for about an hour. After an hour, wrap the crescents in plastic wrap then place back in the freezer. Freezing after baking: You may also freeze the crescents after baking, let it warm completely then wrap it up in plastic wrap and freeze it. That and warm it in the oven at 350 for about 10 minutes.
