Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon strawberry jam or preserves
  • 6 strawberries (thinly sliced)
  • 1 (8-ounce) can crescent rolls
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • Granulated OR coarse sparkling sugar

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and strawberry jam until smooth and creamy.
  • Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into four rectangles. Press firmly along the triangle perforations to seal. Place rectangles on an ungreased baking sheet (or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper).
  • Divide cream cheese mixture evenly between the four pieces of dough, spreading on one half of each rectangle and leaving a thin border around the edges. Arrange strawberry slices on top of cream cheese mixture, using about 1 1/2 strawberries per pastry (or whatever fits).
  • Fold dough over filling so that edges meet, and press along edges firmly with a fork to seal. Brush top of each pastry with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Using a sharp knife, cut three diagonal slits on surface of each pastry.
  • Bake for 13 to 16 minutes or until pastries are a deep golden brown. Place pan on a wire rack and cool pastries for 10 minutes before removing with a spatula and serving warm.
