Ingredients
Dough
- 1 package 8 oz crescent roll dough
Filling
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup raspberry preserves
- Powdered sugar optional, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a mini muffin pan or line with paper liners.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles. Cut each triangle in half to form smaller pieces that fit into the mini muffin cups.
- Press each dough piece gently into the mini muffin cups, shaping them into small cups.
- In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into each prepared dough cup. Add a small dollop (about ½ teaspoon) of raspberry preserves on top of the cream cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the filling is set. Let cool slightly in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
- Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
