Ingredients You Will Need
To get started, gather the following ingredients: 1 can of refrigerated crescent roll dough, 1 cup of cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, the zest of one lemon, and 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Additionally, you may want some extra powdered sugar for dusting before serving.
Preparing the Lemon Cream Filling
Start by preparing your luscious lemon cream filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar. Blend until smooth and creamy. Then add in the lemon zest and freshly squeezed lemon juice; mix until everything is well incorporated. The result should be a velvety mixture that’s both sweet and tart—perfect for filling your crescent rolls.
Rolling Out Your Crescent Dough
Next up is rolling out your crescent dough. Preheat your oven according to package instructions—usually around 375°F (190°C). Unroll the can of refrigerated crescent roll dough onto a clean surface or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Carefully separate the triangles along perforated lines so you have individual pieces ready to fill.
Filling and Shaping Your Crescent Rolls
Now it’s time to fill those triangles. Take about one tablespoon of the prepared lemon cream filling and place it at the wide end of each triangle. Gently roll up each piece starting from that wide end towards the pointy tip to form a crescent shape. Make sure to tuck in any loose edges so that all that delicious filling stays inside while baking.
Baking Your Crescents and Serving Suggestions
Once all your crescent rolls are shaped, place them on an ungreased baking sheet or lined with parchment paper. Bake them in preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown on top. Once removed from the oven, let them cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar for an elegant finish. Serve warm or at room temperature—these treats are perfect as breakfast pastries or delightful desserts.
Crafting these delightful crescent rolls filled with luscious lemon cream is easier than you might think. With just a few simple steps and ingredients, you can enjoy fresh baked goods right from your kitchen. So go ahead—treat yourself and others by making this zesty dessert today.
