Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tube crescent rolls
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese
- ¼ cup (40 g) rainbow jimmies (long sprinkles)
- 1 ½ tbsps (22 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) milk or cream
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Non-pareil sprinkles (small colorful dots)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal baking performance.
- Filling Fusion: Whip cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar until achieving a silky-smooth texture, then gently fold in rainbow jimmies to create a vibrant, speckled mixture.
- Dough Transformation: Unroll crescent dough and separate into individual triangles, spreading the colorful cream cheese mixture generously across the wider end of each triangle.
- Rolling Technique: Carefully roll each triangle from the wide base to the pointed tip, ensuring the filling remains securely enclosed within the soft dough.
- Baking Brilliance: Arrange stuffed crescents on prepared baking sheet, maintaining space between each roll, and bake for 12-15 minutes until the pastry turns a beautiful golden brown.
- Glaze Finale: Craft an elegant glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until reaching a smooth, drizzle-worthy consistency.
- Finishing Touch: Remove crescents from oven, let cool briefly, then lavish with the silky glaze and garnish with non-pareil sprinkles for a playful, festive presentation.
Notes
- Ingredient Temperature: Ensure cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature for smooth, lump-free mixing.
- Dough Handling: Work with cold crescent roll dough to maintain its delicate structure and prevent sticking.
- Filling Distribution: Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to evenly portion the cream cheese mixture for consistent results.
- Baking Precision: Watch crescents closely during the last few minutes of baking to prevent over-browning and maintain a perfect golden color.
