Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 (8-ounce) tubes crescent roll dough
- 1 cup (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup raspberry preserves
Sweetening Ingredients:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Liquid Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Prepare the crescent dough by gently stretching each sheet into smooth rectangular shapes, carefully sealing any perforated lines.
- Generously coat the dough rectangles with a delicate layer of cream cheese, ensuring even coverage across the entire surface.
- Distribute raspberry preserves uniformly over the cream cheese, creating a vibrant and flavorful base.
- Carefully roll the dough lengthwise into compact cylindrical logs, maintaining consistent tension.
- Divide each log precisely in half, then make a lengthwise cut to produce 12 distinct pastry strips.
- Craft each strip into a graceful spiral by wrapping it around your finger, positioning the layered edges outwardly to showcase the beautiful interior.
- Nestle the spiraled strips into a thoroughly greased muffin pan, ensuring adequate spacing between each cruffin.
- Position the muffin pan in a preheated oven set at 350°F and bake for approximately 18-20 minutes, rotating midway to promote uniform golden browning.
- While the cruffins are baking, prepare a smooth glaze by whisking powdered sugar with milk until achieving a silky, pourable consistency.
- Immediately transfer the freshly baked cruffins to a cooling rack upon removal from the oven.
- Generously drizzle each warm cruffin with the prepared glaze, allowing it to cascade elegantly over the pastry’s intricate spirals.
- Serve the cruffins warm or at room temperature for optimal enjoyment.
Notes
- Enhance the cream cheese layer by mixing in a pinch of vanilla extract or lemon zest for added depth of flavor.
- Experiment with different preserves like strawberry, apricot, or mixed berry to create unique variations of the cruffins.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute crescent dough with gluten-free puff pastry or a homemade gluten-free dough to accommodate dietary restrictions.
