INGREDIENT NOTES:

CRESCENT ROLL DOUGH:

  • This dough swiftly prepares the dessert and gives the rolls a flaky exterior. To spread the filling, press the seams together to create a smooth rectangle. Puff pastry can be used in its place, but the texture will be flakier and richer.

REDUCED-FAT CREAM CHEESE:

  • Cream cheese offers creamy and slightly tangy stuffing to the rolls. Soft cream cheese blend readily with the sugar and vanilla. Neufchâtel cheese is a good alternative.

GRANULATED SUGAR:

  • It preserves the acidic flavor while adding sweetness to the cream cheese filling. Another alternative is to use a sugar replacement.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

  • The cream cheese filling tastes more like a dessert thanks to the sweet flavor of vanilla. As an alternative, you may use a tiny bit of almond essence.

MELTED LIGHT BUTTER:

  • It provides a nice buttery flavor and turns the tips golden brown. To lessen the quantity of additional fat, you can substitute light cooking spray.

  1. First, grease the dish and warm the oven to 375°F.
  2. Unroll the dough and make the large rectangle by pressing the seams together.
