Ingredients:

1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 (8 oz) can refrigerated crescent roll dough

Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

 

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the filling:
In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

3. Roll out the dough:
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into triangles.

4. Add filling:
Place about 1 tablespoon of the lemon cheesecake mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Gently roll up each triangle starting from the wide end, and tuck in the sides if desired to keep the filling inside.

5. Bake:
Place rolls on the baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden brown.

6. Cool and serve:
Let them cool for a few minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if you like.
