- 1 package crescent dough
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar

Instructions

- Step 3: Sprinkle chopped strawberries evenly over the cream cheese layer on each triangle.
- Step 4: Roll up each triangle starting from the wider end toward the point to form a roll.

Tips & Variations
- Use frozen crescent dough if fresh is unavailable, but thaw completely before use.
- Try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture for extra flavor.
- Swap strawberries with blueberries or raspberries for a different berry twist.
- For a sweeter finish, drizzle rolls with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk once cooled.
Storage
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 5 days and reheat in a warm oven for a few minutes to regain crispness. These rolls are best eaten fresh but can also be frozen before baking; thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bake as instructed.
