Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 (8-ounce) tubes crescent roll dough
- 1 cup (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (30 milliliters)
Instructions
- Prepare a welcoming workspace by preheating the oven to 350F (175C) and coating a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick spray.
- Gently unfurl crescent dough sheets, pressing together any perforated lines to create smooth rectangular surfaces.
- Delicately spread a thin, even layer of cream cheese across each rectangular dough surface.
- Artfully distribute raspberry preserves over the cream cheese, ensuring complete and uniform coverage.
- Carefully roll the dough lengthwise into compact cylindrical logs, maintaining tight and consistent tension.
- Divide each log precisely in half, then slice each segment lengthwise to create 12 individual spiral strips.
- Elegantly wrap each strip around your finger, positioning the layers to face outward and creating a graceful spiral shape.
- Strategically place the spiraled strips into the prepared muffin pan, allowing even spacing between each cruffin.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, rotating the pan midway through the cooking process to ensure consistent golden-brown coloration.
- While baking, whisk powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until achieving a smooth, glossy glaze consistency.
- Once baked, immediately transfer cruffins to a cooling rack using careful, gentle movements.
- Generously drizzle each warm cruffin with the prepared glaze, allowing it to cascade over the spiraled layers.
- Serve either warm or at room temperature for optimal enjoyment.
Notes
- Choose cold cream cheese for easier spreading, avoiding tears in the delicate crescent dough.
- Seal perforations carefully to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Use high-quality raspberry preserves for more intense fruit flavor and vibrant color.
- Dust cruffins with powdered sugar as an alternative glaze for a lighter, less sweet finish.
