We love croissants whether we make homemade croissants or buy those Pillsbury™ crescent rolls at the store. Both are flaky and delish and this Strawberry filled croissants recipe can be used with either one. These are so special and will be perfect for a special breakfast or brunch like Valentine’s day or Mother’s day. We used fresh strawberries but these would also be delicious with fresh blueberry or blackberries.

Strawberry Filled Croissants Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 package crescent roll dough
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sugar plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
- 1 cup diced strawberries
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 to 3 tablespoons heavy cream
Equipment Needed:
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Mixing Bowls
- Mixer
- Pastry Brush
- Whisk
🥣 Recipe Tips
- Use Cold Crescent Dough: Keep the crescent roll dough refrigerated until ready to use to maintain its flakiness and prevent it from becoming sticky. This makes it easier to unroll and shape without tearing.
- Evenly Distribute Filling: Spread the cream cheese mixture thinly and evenly across each dough triangle, leaving a small border to prevent leakage when rolling. Use a small spoon to portion strawberries equally to ensure consistent flavor in every bite.
- Adjust Glaze Consistency: For the perfect drizzle, start with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream in the powdered sugar glaze and add more gradually if needed. A thicker glaze clings better, while a thinner one spreads more easily—test a small drizzle to get your preferred texture.
How to make these Strawberry Cheesecake Crescent Rolls:
Preheat your oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, vanilla, and 1/4 cup sugar until smooth using a hand mixer if needed.
In a separate small bowl, stir together the diced strawberries and 1 tablespoon sugar.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate each of the triangles. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the bottom of each triangle, then top with a spoon full of strawberries.
Roll up each triangle around the strawberries and cream cheese starting from the wide end making a filled croissant.
Place each Strawberry Cream Cheese Crescent Roll on the parchment lined baking sheet.
Brush the top of each crescent with a beaten egg. Bake in the preheated oven for 11 to 13 minutes, until golden brown.
Allow your strawberry cheesecake crescents to cool. Then whisk together the powdered sugar and cream in a small bowl.
Drizzle the glaze over the top of each strawberry croissant before serving.
