Stuffed Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls Recipe
Crescent rolls may be the kind of thing you grab for quick dinners, but they’ve got serious dessert potential too. These Cream Cheese Stuffed Crescent Rolls are soft, golden, and filled with tangy cream cheese and sweet berries. They bake up warm and gooey, with fruit peeking out just enough to make them look as good as they taste.
They’re perfect for a sweet breakfast, easy brunch, or even dessert. Just serve them warm with a dusting of powdered sugar…no fancy extras needed. You can even prep them ahead of time and bake them right before serving.

Why We Love This Recipe
- Easy recipe: You only need five ingredients and 30 minutes to make them.
- Delicious flavors: The warm cream cheese and juicy fruit are a delicious combo.
- Versatile treat: They work as breakfast, dessert, or afternoon snack with coffee.
Ingredients
- Pillsbury crescent rolls: They’re the soft and buttery base for the whole recipe.
- Cream cheese: Acts as the creamy and tangy filling.
- Strawberries: Cut in half lengthwise are just the right size to tuck inside the dough.
- Blueberries: Adds a burst of fresh flavor and color to each bite.
- Powdered sugar (for garnish): A light dusting adds a touch of sweetness.
How To Make Fruit and Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 375. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
Step 2. Unroll the crescent sheet and separate the triangles.
Step 3. Add cream cheese to the wide end. I’ve found that it’s easier to buy the rectangular cream cheese instead of the tubs because you can just slice it off the end as you go.
Step 4. Top the cream cheese with one strawberry, cut in two pieces and placed side by side.
Step 5. Add 4-5 blueberries. If you like, you can sprinkle a little extra powdered sugar over the top to make it a bit sweeter.
Step 6. Roll the crescent dough around the fruit and cheese and bake at 375° for 12-14 minutes, or until the tops of the crescent rolls are golden brown.
Step 7. Remove from oven and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve hot and enjoy!
Storage Instructions
- Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to bring back the crisp edges.
- Freezer: Wrap each roll in plastic and place in a freezer bag for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge and warm in the oven before serving.
Variations And Add-ins
Want to switch things up? These ideas keep them fun without messing with what makes the original so good.
- Berries: Swap strawberries for raspberries or blackberries for a tangier twist.
- Other fruits: Make apple or pear crescents or come up with something totally your own.
- Jam: Add a small spoonful of jam under the cream cheese for extra fruity flavor.
- Chocolate drizzle: Drizzle with melted white chocolate after baking for a sweet finish.
- Chocolate chips: Add mini chocolate chips on top of the cream cheese before rolling.
- Sweetened filling: For extra sweetness, mix in a little powdered sugar into the cream cheese.
Tips And Tricks
These easy tips make sure your rolls come out soft, golden, and filled with goodness every single time.
- Use cold cream cheese straight from the fridge so it doesn’t melt too fast in the oven.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easier cleanup.
- Don’t overfill the rolls or they’ll burst open as they bake.
- Pinch the seams lightly to help hold the filling inside.
FAQs
You may have overfilled them or didn’t pinch the edges enough. Stick to the suggested amounts and press lightly to seal
It’s not recommended. Frozen berries release too much moisture and can make the rolls soggy.
Yes! Assemble and store in the fridge, then bake fresh when ready. Just add a minute or two to the bake time.
If the dough gets too warm, it can become sticky and tear. Keep it chilled until you’re ready to roll.

These look simple and delicious!
Thank you so much! Yes, they were delish and disappeared quickly! 🙂
Please, can these be frozen after baking? Thank you
I’ve never tried but I think they’d be best fresh out of the oven and served warm 🙂
Do you think I could make this as a sheet? Sheet of crescent dough the cream cheese and fruit with another layer of crescent sheet on top? I’m feeding a crowd and love the looks of this but trying to cut back on prep time.
Hi Nicki,
I’ve never tried that but I think it would totally work! In fact, that’s such a great idea that I may just try it myself. Let me know how it turns out 🙂
Have you tried frozen berries that have been thawed?
I haven’t. I’d be worried they might be a little soggy but it’s worth a try. Let me know how it works out if you try it that way 🙂
Looks so delicious and perfect for weekend brunch! I love crescent rolls ♥
Thanks so much…I love them too! And yes, they’re perfect for a brunch 🙂
I used raspberry jam instead of fruit. My husband loved them
That’s such a great idea! I’m going to try that next time! 🙂
Ive made these a few times. My family loves them for breakfast or brunch. I have used strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and most recently peaches with some cinnamon sugar on the dough. My daughter absolutely loves them and they’re so simple I can have them ready in less than 20 minutes.
I’m so glad that you loved these as much as we do! I am definitely trying this with peaches next time…it sounds delish! Thanks so much for sharing!
This was so easy and delicious! Even my very picky eaters loved it. I used fat free cream cheese just to make it a smidge lighter and we didn’t notice the difference. Awesome!
I’m so glad everyone loved them so much! Picky eaters can be tricky so it’s always a win when they’re happy too!
Hi, if these aren’t eaten immediately can they go in fridge or need to make day of and leave out?
These are best eaten fresh but you can certainly refrigerate them for later, then reheat in the oven or microwave.
I have a question . How can the calories and fat content be what is stated ? ” 69 calories and 3 grams of fat when just the roll alone is 100 calories and 5 grams of fat per roll?? Doesn’t make sense to me. Looks yummy but that has to be off ?
Hi Noelle,
Thanks so much for catching that. I use a nutrition calculator that automatically calculates this information and sometimes it can be a little off. I just went back through and recalculated it and it appears to be more accurate now. I try to catch these things but sometimes they slip by me. I appreciate you taking the time to point it out! 😊
Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe! So simple and so yummy! 👌🏽🤤😋 I was wondering if it’s okay to use Frozen fruits?? If so do I have to thaw them very well and drain the juice? The last thing I want is to have a soggy croissant! 😖Lol 😝 Also, I was just telling my husband that I am going to start having more smoothies, so I would love to see what you make. I have just have store-bought Frozen fruit. I’m trying to lose weight 🤞🏽 any advice would be appreciated. Thanks again and happy baking!
Hi Cueva! I wouldn’t recommend making this with frozen fruits. Even the fresh fruits get soft when you bake them so I worry that frozen fruit would just make this too soggy. However frozen fruit does make for a good smoothie! I usually just wing it…I’ll throw some frozen fruit in a blender with Greek vanilla yogurt (and a little milk if it’s too thick). The great thing is that you can change it up depending on what fruit you have on hand. Enjoy!
Thank you so much for sharing!!! I was looking for a quick dessert and this odd the perfect one…..(I’ll let you know how they turned out, with my own twist)🧁 Leanne
You’re so welcome! I hope you enjoyed them!
sprinkle chocolate bark on top
I like the way you think! I’ll have to do that next time 😊
I made them tonight and the are delicious! I followed your tip and sweetened the cream cheese. Thank you!
I’m so glad you liked them! I’m with you…I tend to like them on the sweeter side as well! 😊
