Whether you’re making them for a cozy family night or a gathering with friends, these rolls are always a hit! Plus, they bake up golden brown and are perfect dusted with powdered sugar for that extra touch of sweetness. Let’s get started on this delicious journey!
Ingredients List
- 1 can of crescent roll dough
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened (make sure it’s at room temperature for easy mixing)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (this adds just the right amount of sweetness)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for that lovely, aromatic flavor)
- 1 egg yolk (this gives the filling a rich texture)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting, to make them extra pretty)
How to Prepare *Cheesecake Crescent Rolls*
Preheat the Oven
First things first, let’s get that oven preheated to 375°F (190°C). This step is super important because a hot oven helps the rolls bake perfectly golden and flaky. So, turn it on now, and let it warm up while you prepare the filling and rolls!
Make the Cream Cheese Filling
In a mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and the egg yolk. Now, using an electric mixer or a sturdy spoon, mix everything together until it’s nice and smooth. You’re aiming for a creamy texture that’s easy to spread, so don’t rush this step. Trust me, the smoother the filling, the better it will taste!
Assemble the Rolls
Once your filling is ready, it’s time to unroll that crescent dough. Carefully separate it into triangles on a clean surface. Now, take a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture and place it right at the wide end of each triangle. Then, roll it up, starting from the wide end and tucking in the sides as you go. This helps keep that delicious filling inside while they bake!
Bake the Rolls
Place your filled rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they have a little space between them. Pop them in the oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when they turn a lovely golden brown and your kitchen starts smelling divine!
Dust and Serve
Once they’re out of the oven, let these beauties cool for just a minute. Then, dust them generously with powdered sugar to make them look all fancy! Serve them warm for the best taste, and watch everyone dive in with delight. They’re truly irresistible!
Tips for Success
Want to ensure your *cheesecake crescent rolls* turn out perfectly every time? Here are some of my go-to tips that have helped me along the way!
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature. This makes mixing so much easier and gives you that luscious, creamy filling. No one wants lumps in their cheesecake, right?
- Don’t Rush the Rolling: When you roll up the crescent dough, take your time! Start at the wide end and gently tuck in the sides as you go. This not only keeps the filling secure but also helps them bake evenly.
- Space Them Out: Give your rolls some breathing room on the baking sheet. They’ll puff up a bit while baking, and you don’t want them to stick together. A little space goes a long way!
- Keep an Eye on the Oven: Ovens can vary, so check on your rolls a minute or two before the timer goes off. You want them golden brown but not overdone. That perfect color means they’re ready!
- Serve Warm: These rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. If you can, gather everyone around and serve them warm with that lovely dusting of powdered sugar. Trust me, the smiles are worth it!
With these tips in your back pocket, you’ll be making the most delightful *cheesecake crescent rolls* that everyone will love!

FAQ Section
Can I use a different filling?
Absolutely! While I adore the classic cream cheese filling, you can mix it up! Try adding chocolate chips, fruit preserves, or even a bit of lemon zest for a fresh twist. Just remember to keep the filling spreadable!
How do I store leftovers?
If you have any rolls left (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for a couple of days. Just reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds to bring back that warm, gooey goodness!
Can I freeze the rolls before baking?
Yes, you can! Assemble the rolls and place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually. Once frozen, transfer them to a zip-top bag. When you’re ready to bake, just pop them straight from the freezer into the oven—add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
What can I pair with my cheesecake crescent rolls?
These rolls are delightful on their own, but you can serve them with fresh berries, whipped cream, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat. Yum!
Why are my crescent rolls not golden brown?
If your rolls aren’t turning that beautiful golden brown, it might be due to your oven temperature or baking time. Make sure your oven is preheated properly, and keep an eye on them as they bake—every oven is a little different!

So, you’ve made a batch of those amazing *cheesecake crescent rolls*, and now you’ve got some leftovers (if that ever happens!). Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered on how to store and reheat them so they stay just as delicious!
First, let your rolls cool completely before storing them. Once they’re at room temperature, place them in an airtight container. This will help keep them fresh for up to 2 days in the fridge. Just remember, the sooner you eat them, the better! But if you do have leftovers, they’ll still be tasty.
When you’re ready to enjoy your rolls again, a quick reheat is all they need. You can pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to warm them up. Just be careful not to overdo it, or they might get a little chewy. If you prefer that fresh-baked feel, you can also reheat them in a toaster oven or regular oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until they’re warm and flaky again.
Now you’re all set to savor those *cheesecake crescent rolls* even after the initial bake! Enjoy every last bite!
