Description

Delightful mini treats that combine the tangy flavor of cranberry with the smoothness of cream cheese, all wrapped in flaky crescent dough.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can crescent roll dough (8-count)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup whole berry cranberry sauce
  • Optional: chopped pecans or orange zest for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Prepare a mini muffin tin by greasing it lightly or lining it with muffin liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut each triangle in half. Press one piece into the bottom of each muffin cup to form a small cup shape.
  4. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into each dough cup, then add a teaspoon of whole berry cranberry sauce on top. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped pecans or orange zest.
  5. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes or until the dough is golden brown. Cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
