2 tubes crescent dough
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups fresh strawberries, finely diced
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, beaten
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and airy.
Fold the finely diced strawberries into the cream cheese mixture using a silicone spatula.
Separate the crescent dough into individual triangles.
Place one tablespoon of the strawberry cheesecake mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
Roll the dough carefully toward the narrow point to secure the filling inside.
Place rolls on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the beaten egg.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven for best texture results.
