Ingredients
Dough
- 1 package crescent dough (8 oz)
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, mixing just to combine.
- Fill Dough: Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface and separate into individual triangles. Spoon a generous amount of the cream cheese and strawberry filling onto the wider end of each triangle.
- Roll Dough: Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle up toward the pointed tip tightly but gently to avoid squeezing out the filling. Place the rolls seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
- For added texture, sprinkle a little cinnamon or add chopped nuts to the cream cheese filling.
- Serve warm or at room temperature; these rolls are great fresh but can be reheated gently.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
