Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 6 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 6 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp orange zest
  • ½ tsp almond extract
  • 2 pkg 8-count refrigerated crescent rolls

Topping

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp orange juice
  • 2 tsp orange zest
  • 2 Tbsp butter melted
  • ¼ tsp almond extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sugar, zest and almond extract.

  2. Unroll the crescent rolls. Place about one tablespoon of the mixture on each triangle, dividing evenly among the 16 rolls. Spread out the mixture leaving ¼ inch free on each side.

  3. Roll up the dough beginning with the wide end. Seal the edges of the dough with your fingers so the cream cheese mixture does not leak out.

  4. Place the crescent rolls on the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. While they are baking, prepare the topping.

Topping

  1. Melt the butter in the microwave for 30 seconds. Add the remaining ingredients and mix together until combined. When the crescent rolls are done, spoon the topping along the tops, allowing to melt down the sides. Serve warm.
