    Strawberry Cheesecake Crescent Rolls are delicious, buttery rolls stuffed with a sweet and tangy filling that will have you coming back for more.

    Recipe: $3.23 | Per Serving: $0.40 | Servings: 8

    several crescent rolls with icing and fresh strawberries on a plate.

    These strawberry cream cheese crescent rolls were inspired by our Strawberry Cream Cheese Turnovers. Made with crescent rolls instead of phyllo dough, we get incredible results that the whole family is sure to enjoy!

    From the flaky buttery shells to the strawberry cream cheese filling, these rolls are something you'll want on your menu more often.

    We use crescent rolls for savory Crack Chicken Bombs and sweet Crescent Roll Cream Cheese Danishes as well as Apple Pie Bites, but you really can't beat that incredible strawberry and cream cheese combination.

    🍯 Why This Recipe Works

    1. They're easy to make. These crescent rolls are just as easy as you'd normally make them but with one or two small added steps. They require even less effort than making Mini Pigs in a Blanket!
    2. They're not too sweet. The tangy cream cheese and buttery rolls help to cut down on the sweetness from the jam making this recipe a perfect balance of flavors and not overpoweringly sweet. You can even use Sugar Free Strawberry Jam if you want to reduce the sugars.
    3. They're frugal and seasonal. Strawberries in spring, blueberries in summer, this recipe can easily be switched up with new jam flavors for seasonal variations all year long. I recommend trying my Sugar Free Blueberry Jam. Yum!

    🥘 Ingredients

    labeled ingredients needed to make strawberry cheesecake crescent rolls.

    Ingredient Notes:

    Crescent rolls- You can use any variety or brand of crescent rolls, but you'll need the ones from the cans in the grocery store's chilled section (found next to canned biscuits). If you buy extras, don't forget to try our Muffin Tin Pizza Bombs and Air Fried Oreo Cookies.

    Strawberry jam- Use your favorite brand of strawberry jam or swap it out for a different flavor if desired.

    Cream cheese- You'll need some cream cheese for the filling, but it's okay if it isn't softened. (This is the total opposite of what we normally say. Especially in recipes like Cream Cheese Alfredo Sauce and Blueberry Cream Cheese Babka). Brick cream cheese is easier to cut into pieces when chilled.

    Glaze- You will make a simple powdered sugar glaze using powdered sugar, water, and vanilla.

    For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.

    🔪 Instructions for Strawberry Cheesecake Crescent Rolls

    Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Set aside.

    Step 2: Open the crescent rolls and unroll all of them so that none are sticking together.

    jam and cream cheese topped crescent roll triangles.

    Step 3: Place about 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam into the center of the large end of each triangle.

    Step 4: Take the cream cheese and cube it into 8 equal-sized pieces. Place each cube onto the jam.

    rolling the filled crescent rolls from wide side to narrow.

    Step 5: Take that large side of the triangle and roll it over to the narrow side.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    1. Different fillings, same results. Jam, jelly, or preserves will all work the same in this recipe. Use store-bought or homemade, and you're sure to enjoy the results.
    2. Seal the edges! Just make sure to get a good crimp on the edges so it doesn't leak out as it bakes. Similar to making a Small Batch of Cinnamon Rolls, you have to crimp the dough to keep the filling inside.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Storage

    Fridge- These crescent rolls can last about 2-3 days in the fridge if stored in an airtight container. After that, they may become soggy and less appealing.

    Freezing- To freeze, cool the rolls, place them on a baking sheet in the freezer for 1 hour, then transfer to an airtight container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw before eating. Avoid adding icing until ready to serve.

    🍳 Reheating

    I have had great success reheating them on a plate in the microwave in 15 second intervals. It usually takes 15-25 seconds to heat fully.

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    What's the difference between crescent rolls and croissants?

    Crescent rolls are much more bread-like than croissants. While the names may imply some similarity, croissants are a laminated dough with loads of butter in between, helping to make them light and fluffy when baked. The crescent dough is just thinly rolled dough.

    What is an alternative to crescent rolls?

    If you're in a pinch and don't have any crescent dough on hand, you can use puff pastry. Just slice into squares, add the filling, fold, crimp the edges, and bake.

    Can you open crescent rolls in advance?

    Yes, according to Pillsbury, you can open the cans of crescent roll dough up to 2 hours in advance. This means you can prepare these breakfast rolls up to 2 hours in advance (keep them in the fridge) and bake them when ready.
