We’ve decided on a Brunch for Amie’s baby shower. Part of the menu will be my “Chocolate Croissants” (https://tinyurl.com/y8alpu8d) and then I found this recipe for “Lemon Cheesecake Croissants”! I did a test run on Sunday . . . and if you like lemon . . . you’ll love these!!!! Needless to say – both flavors of croissants will be attending the baby shower, lol. Who can choose between chocolate or lemon?!?! Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients
Rolls
- 1 package 8 count refrigerated crescent rolls
- 4 oz. cream cheese cold
- 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp. lemon extract (maybe a tad more – taste & adjust to you’re liking)
- zest of 1/2 lemon
Glaze
- 1 c. powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- zest of 1/2 lemon
Instructions
-
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, granulated sugar, lemon extract, and lemon zest.
-
Beat on medium-high speed until mixture comes together.
-
Unroll crescent roll dough into triangles; spoon cream cheese filling onto wider end of each triangle.
-
Gently roll the dough, starting with the wider end and tucking the corners, into crescent shapes. (make sure the ends are closed)
-
Place 2 inches apart on a lightly greased or parchment – lined baking sheet.
-
Bake at 375 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Let rolls cool on a wire rack.
-
Once cool, prepare glaze by combining all ingredients until smooth.
-
Drizzle glaze evenly over rolls.
