Strawberry Cheese Rolls - July 1, 2012

Sorry I missed a week. We've had some pretty devastating news pass our way in the past couple of weeks and it's been hard to focus on anything but the recent events. Here is a recipe I had typed up before and kept in my "vault". I hope you enjoy.

Yup, another Pinterest find. The recipe I saw called for blueberries, but I like strawberries better, so I made them my way.

Strawberry Cheese Rolls

Ingredients:

2 pkgs crescent rolls
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
4 Tbsp sugar
1 cup strawberries divided

Heat oven to 375. Unroll dough into four rectangles per pkg of crescent rolls; firmly press perforations together to seal. Combine cream cheese and sugar; spread onto dough rectangles to within 1/2 inch of edges. Top evenly with strawberries. Bring opposite corners of rectangles together; press together to seal. Place on ungreased baking sheet. (I used parchment paper). Bake 11 to 13 min. or until golden brown.



Husband Rating: 

Not bad. They have potential, but they weren't perfect. These puppies are worth trying over and over until you get it right. They are very easy to make, and only take about 11 minutes to bake. I didn't think they were sweet enough. They needed more filling and a sweeter filling. My husband and I agreed that we think the filling that I used for the cream cheese bars would be excellent in these. (2 bars cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, and egg yolks.) I made a little frosting/glaze to put on them this time hoping to sweeten them up a bit, and it worked. (a little butter, a lot of powdered sugar, and a splash of milk). Try it out, and use whatever fruit you want (or skip the fruit and just stick with the cheese filling or maybe add a Nutella or chocolate filling.)
