4.5 from 132 reviews

Strawberry Cheesecake Rolls are a delightful and easy-to-make dessert featuring creamy sweetened cream cheese and fresh strawberries wrapped in flaky crescent dough, baked to a golden perfection. These rolls are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet treat any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 package crescent dough (8 oz, typically 8 rolls)

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries, being careful not to break them down too much.
  3. Fill and Roll: Spoon a generous amount of the cream cheese and strawberry mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Carefully roll each dough triangle from the wide end toward the tip, enclosing the filling inside.
  4. Bake Rolls: Place the rolled crescents on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between each. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh strawberries with frozen, but thaw and drain them well to avoid soggy dough.
  • For extra sweetness, drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk once cooled.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • These rolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 4 days.
