These easy pastries are perfect for breakfast, brunch, holidays, or an afternoon sweet treat!<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0Ingredients<\/h2>\n<h3>For the Crescent Rolls<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough, 8 oz<\/li>\n<li>4 oz cream cheese, softened<\/li>\n<li>3 tablespoons powdered sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>8 teaspoons strawberry, raspberry, cherry, or your favorite fruit jam<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>For the Glaze<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>1\/2 cup powdered sugar<\/li>\n<li>2\u20133 teaspoons milk<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Optional<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Powdered sugar, for dusting<\/li>\n<li>Fresh berries, for serving<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\u00a0Instructions<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Preheat the Oven<\/h3>\n<p>Preheat your oven to <strong>375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling<\/h3>\n<p>Place the softened cream cheese in a small bowl.<\/p>\n<p>Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat or stir until completely smooth and creamy.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Prepare the Crescent Dough<\/h3>\n<p>Carefully unroll the crescent dough and separate it into <strong>8 triangles<\/strong> along the perforated lines.<\/p>\n<p>Place the triangles on your prepared baking sheet.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Add the Filling<\/h3>\n<p>Spread approximately <strong>1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture<\/strong> over the wider end of each crescent triangle.<\/p>\n<p>Add about <strong>1 teaspoon of fruit jam<\/strong> on top of the cream cheese.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t overfill, or the filling may leak out while baking.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Roll the Crescents<\/h3>\n<p>Starting at the wide end, gently roll each triangle toward the pointed end.<\/p>\n<p>Pinch the edges lightly to help keep the filling inside.<\/p>\n<p>Place the rolls with the point underneath so they don&#8217;t unravel during baking.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Bake<\/h3>\n<p>Bake for approximately <strong>12\u201315 minutes<\/strong>, or until the crescent rolls are puffed and beautifully golden brown.<\/p>\n<p>Remove from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Make the Glaze<\/h3>\n<p>In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.<\/p>\n<p>Add a few extra drops of milk if you want a thinner glaze.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Finish and Serve<\/h3>\n<p>Drizzle the glaze over the warm crescent rolls.<\/p>\n<p>For an extra-pretty presentation, sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar and serve with fresh berries.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy them warm!<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0Tips for the Best Crescent Rolls<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure the cream cheese is softened so the filling spreads easily.<\/li>\n<li>Use thick jam or preserves rather than a very runny fruit sauce.<\/li>\n<li>Keep the crescent dough refrigerated until you&#8217;re ready to use it.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t overfill the rolls because the jam and cream cheese can escape during baking.<\/li>\n<li>Try different flavors such as strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, apricot, or cherry.<\/li>\n<li>For a richer flavor, add a little lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\u00a0Flavor Ideas<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Strawberry Cheesecake:<\/strong> Strawberry jam + cream cheese filling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Raspberry Vanilla:<\/strong> Raspberry preserves + vanilla cream cheese.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cherry Cheesecake:<\/strong> Cherry preserves + cream cheese + a tiny splash of almond extract.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blueberry Lemon:<\/strong> Blueberry jam + lemon zest in the cream cheese filling.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0Recipe Information<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Prep Time:<\/strong> 10 minutes<br \/>\n<strong>Bake Time:<\/strong> 12\u201315 minutes<br \/>\n<strong>Total Time:<\/strong> About 25 minutes<br \/>\n<strong>Servings:<\/strong> 8 crescent rolls<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Cream Cheese and Jam Crescent Rolls Flaky, buttery crescent rolls filled with a sweet and creamy cheesecake-style filling and your&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7318,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7317"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7317\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7319,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7317\/revisions\/7319"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7318"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
