Description
A delightful fusion of classic strawberry shortcake and rich cheesecake, rolled into a sweet and tender pastry.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and press the seams together to form a rectangle.
- In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the flattened crescent roll dough, leaving a small border.
- Sprinkle the finely chopped fresh strawberries over the cream cheese layer.
- Carefully roll up the dough lengthwise, starting from one of the long sides, to form a log.
- Slice the log into 8 equal rolls.
- Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the rolls are baking, warm the strawberry jam slightly in a small bowl.
- Once the rolls are out of the oven, brush the tops with the melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining granulated sugar.
- Drizzle the warm strawberry jam over the top of the rolls before serving.
Notes
- For a stronger strawberry flavor, you can add a few drops of strawberry extract to the cream cheese mixture.
- If you don’t have fresh strawberries, you can use thawed frozen strawberries, but be sure to drain them well.
- These rolls are best served warm.
