Strawberry Crescent Rolls – Page 2

Directions for Strawberry Crescent Rolls

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles.
Spread a spoonful of strawberry preserves on the wide end of each triangle.
- Optional: Add a thin layer of cream cheese and sliced fresh strawberries for added texture and flavor.
Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end to the narrow tip, encasing the strawberry filling.
Place rolls on the baking sheet, leaving enough space for them to expand.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
Serve warm and enjoy!

Helpful Tips for the Best Strawberry Crescent Rolls

Preventing leaks: Be careful not to overfill the crescent rolls. Too much filling can cause the strawberry preserves to spill out during baking.
For a creamier roll: Try adding a thin layer of softened cream cheese before spreading the strawberry preserves. The cream cheese adds a rich, tangy contrast to the sweet strawberry filling.
Extra fruity: Add thinly sliced fresh strawberries to each roll before baking for a burst of fresh flavor.
Customize it: Feel free to swap out the strawberry preserves with any other flavor you like. Raspberry, blueberry, or even apricot preserves would work beautifully. You can even go savory with cheese and herbs for a completely different spin.

Storage and Leftovers

If you happen to have leftovers (though they tend to disappear quickly!), here’s how to store them:

Room temperature: Store the crescent rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Refrigeration: If you added fresh strawberries or cream cheese, it’s best to refrigerate them. Place them in an airtight container and store for up to 4 days.
Freezing: These rolls can also be frozen for up to 2 months. Just reheat them in the oven or toaster oven to bring back their warm, flaky texture.

Reheating Tips:

In the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and reheat for 5-7 minutes.
In the microwave: Place a roll on a microwave-safe plate and heat in 10-15 second intervals until warm. Be careful not to overheat, as the crescent dough can become chewy.

Pairing Suggestions

These Strawberry Crescent Rolls are sweet enough to stand on their own, but they can also be paired with various drinks or foods for a complete meal or snack experience:

Coffee or tea: A warm cup of coffee or a light herbal tea pairs beautifully with the buttery, fruity flavors of the crescent rolls.
Yogurt: For breakfast, serve with a side of Greek yogurt and fresh berries to round out the meal.
Whipped cream: For a dessert version, try serving with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce on top.
Sparkling wine: If you’re serving these for brunch or dessert, a glass of sparkling wine or champagne adds a fancy touch.
