  • Total Time: 55 min

Ingredients

  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls

The Filling

  • 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons flour (all-purpose)
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon peel grated
  • 1 egg yolk (it should be lightly beaten)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For Topping

  • 1 egg, also lightly beaten
  • Raw sugar

For Lemon Glaze

  • 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar

Can You Make It?

Step 1. Sprinkle, sprinkle

Use cookie spray and sprinkle cookie sheet. With an electric mixer beat cheese, flour, and sugar until you get a perfectly combined mixture. Then add egg yolk, and beat until the mixture is consistent.

Step 2. Don’t put the mixer down​

Hold on a second, you have more to mix. Into that mixture also add vanilla extract and lemon peel.

Step 3. Where is dough?

Now, unroll dough and divide it into 2 large rectangles. Form 16 triangles and transfer them on a wax paper lined sheet.

Step 4. Yummy and creamy

Spread that creamy mixture on each rectangle to about a ½ inch of the edges. Then starting at the wider end, roll up and squeeze edges to seal. Curve the rolls into interesting crescent shape, so they’ll look amazing on the plate.

Step 5. It’s freezing here!

Now, leave your rolls alone and place them in the freezer, for around 30 minutes.

Step 6. It’s gettin’ hot in here!

First, you need to preheat the oven, to 375 degrees F. Remove the crescent rolls from the freezer and place them on the baking sheet. With a pastry brush, cover the rolls with egg wash and gently sprinkle with sugar. Bake until the rolls are golden brown.

Step 7. Dazzling glaze

Remove the rolls from oven and set them aside to cool. In the meantime, make the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice, and powdered sugar until smooth. Trickle the lemon glaze over the rolls.

Serve this lovely dessert while it’s still warm, to fully enjoy their softness and sweetness. Bon Appetit!
