Ingredients

Scale

1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough

Instructions

Prepare your strawberries by washing and slicing them. Toss with 2 tablespoons of sugar and let sit for 10 minutes to create a syrup.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, remaining sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Roll out the crescent dough on a clean surface, pinching seams to create one large rectangle.
Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the macerated strawberries on top.
Roll the dough tightly into a log shape and slice into 1-inch pieces.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place rolls on a greased baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Let cool slightly before serving; drizzle with reserved strawberry syrup if desired.
