Pumpkin Crescent Rolls Cream Cheese
The filling for Crescent rolls filled with pumpkin and cream cheese is made with pumpkin puree, cream cheese, sugar, and spices. You can find the recipe I used for my Pumpkin Cream Cheese Crescents Recipe.
There are a few ways you can make this simple treat:
- One way is to simply open the can of refrigerator crescent rolls, separate the rolls according to the preforations and lay flat to fill with the delicious cream cheese filling.
- You could also roll the dough out into a flat sheet of dough, the spread with the cream cheese filling. Roll the crescent roll dough up into a log, then sliced into circles.
- How about using Puff Pastry Sheets to make delicious Pumpkin Pie Puff Pastry Crescents?
- The rolls are then baked until golden brown. Serve them warm, with a drizzle of maple syrup, honey or a powdered sugar glaze.
