Instructions for Making Strawberry Crescent Roll Bites
These Strawberry Crescent Roll Bites are so easy to make and perfect for a sweet, shareable treat.
Prep the Oven and Dough
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a baking sheet. Unroll the crescent dough into one large piece, pressing seams together. Spread softened cream cheese evenly over the dough, then layer with sliced strawberries.
Roll and Cut
Carefully roll the dough lengthwise, pinching the ends closed to prevent filling from escaping. Using a serrated knife, cut the roll into 14 bite-sized pieces.
Arrange and Bake
Place the pieces on the prepared baking sheet in a circular pattern, close but not touching. Bake for 14–16 minutes until golden brown.
Finish and Serve
Melt the jam in the microwave for about 25 seconds and drizzle over the warm bites. Serve immediately; each bite is 2 SP or 2 PP.
Tips & Tricks for Strawberry Cream Cheese Crescent Bites
Use chilled cream cheese to make spreading easier and prevent it from oozing out during baking. Slice strawberries evenly so each bite gets a balanced amount of fruit and filling. Work with one crescent at a time to seal the edges tightly, and brush a little melted butter or egg wash on top for a golden, glossy finish. These bites are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of days.
