Lemon Cheesecake Crescent Rolls are a delightful and indulgent dessert that combines the tangy sweetness of lemon with the creamy richness of cheesecake,
all wrapped in a buttery, flaky crescent roll. These bite-sized treats are perfect for any occasion, whether you're hosting a brunch,
attending a potluck, or just looking for a simple yet satisfying dessert to enjoy at home.
Ingredients:
Rolls;
- 1 package 8 count refrigerated crescent rolls
- 4 oz. cream cheese cold
- 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp. lemon extract
- zest of 1/2 lemon
Glaze;
- 1 c. powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- zest of 1/2 lemon
Instructions:
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, granulated sugar, lemon extract, and lemon zest.
Beat on medium-high speed until mixture comes together. Unroll crescent roll dough into triangles; spoon cream cheese filling onto wider end of each triangle.
Gently roll the dough, starting with the wider end and tucking the corners, into crescent shapes. Place 2 inches apart on a lightly greased or parchment -lined baking sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Let rolls cool on a wire rack. Once cool, prepare glaze by combining all ingredients until smooth. Drizzle glaze evenly over rolls.
