  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 29 minute

Ingredients

– 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– Zest of 1 lemon
– 1 package (1 lb) refrigerated crescent roll dough
– 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
– 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
– Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)


Instructions

Making these Lemon Raspberry Cream Cheese Danish Rolls is straightforward when you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.
3. Roll Out Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Pinch the seams together to create a solid sheet.
4. Cut Dough: Cut the dough into rectangles, approximately 4×4 inches.
5. Add Filling: Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each rectangle. Top with a few raspberries.
6. Fold and Seal: Fold the corners of the dough over the filling to create a pocket. Use a fork to press and seal the edges.
7. Brush with Egg Wash: Place the sealed rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 15-20 minutes.
10. Dust with Powdered Sugar: If desired, dust the cooled rolls with powdered sugar before serving.
