Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 tube crescent rolls
  • 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese
  • ¼ cup (40 grams) rainbow jimmies (long sprinkles)

Sweeteners and Flavoring:

  • 1 ½ tablespoons (22 grams) granulated sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract

Glaze:

  • ½ cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) milk or cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Garnish:

  • Non-pareil sprinkles (small colorful dots)

Instructions

  1. Craft a velvety cream cheese mixture by blending softened cream cheese with vanilla extract and granulated sugar until luxuriously smooth.
  2. Gently incorporate rainbow jimmies into the cream cheese blend, creating colorful speckles throughout the creamy base.
  3. Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough, separating each triangle with precision.
  4. Generously dollop the festive cream cheese filling onto the wide end of each crescent triangle, ensuring an even distribution.
  5. Skillfully roll the crescent triangles from the wide end to the narrow tip, encasing the colorful filling within the delicate dough.
  6. Arrange the stuffed crescents on a foil-lined baking sheet, positioning them with ample spacing.
  7. Slide the prepared rolls into a preheated oven, baking until the pastry transforms into a golden, flaky exterior.
  8. Meanwhile, whip up a silky glaze by whisking powdered sugar with milk and vanilla extract until achieving a perfectly smooth consistency.
  9. Once the crescents emerge from the oven, drizzle the lustrous glaze over the warm pastries.
  10. Optional: Sprinkle non-pareil sprinkles across the glazed crescents for an extra touch of whimsy and color.
