Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 (8-ounce) tubes crescent roll dough
- 1 cup (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
Sweeteners and Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin pan by lightly coating with non-stick spray.
- Unroll crescent dough sheets and smooth out perforations, creating three large rectangular surfaces.
- Apply a thin, even layer of cream cheese across each rectangular dough surface.
- Distribute raspberry preserves uniformly over the cream cheese layer.
- Carefully roll the dough lengthwise into compact logs, ensuring tight and secure rolling.
- Slice each log in half, then cut each half lengthwise to create 12 individual strips.
- Form each strip into a spiral shape by wrapping around your finger, positioning layers to face outward.
- Arrange the spiraled strips into the prepared muffin pan, spacing them evenly.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, rotating the pan midway through cooking to ensure uniform golden-brown coloration.
- While baking, whisk powdered sugar and milk together until achieving a smooth, glossy glaze.
- Once baked, immediately transfer cruffins to a cooling rack.
- Generously drizzle each warm cruffin with prepared glaze.
- Serve either warm or at room temperature for optimal enjoyment.
Notes
- Experiment with different preserves like blueberry, strawberry, or apricot to create unique flavor variations.
- Use cold cream cheese for easier spreading and cleaner layering without tearing the dough.
- Ensure crescent roll dough is at room temperature for smoother rolling and better texture.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute crescent roll dough with gluten-free puff pastry or phyllo sheets.
