Ingredients Needed To Make This Recipe
- Crescent rolls - These form the base of the rolls. You can use refrigerated pre-made crescent roll dough.
- Raspberry jelly/preserves - This sweet and tangy fruit filling provides delicious raspberry flavor inside the rolls. You'll spread it on the crescent roll dough before rolling it up.
- Milk and confectioners' sugar - If you want to add a sweet glaze on top, you'll need some milk to thin out the confectioners' sugar into a drizzle icing.
How To Make The Recipe
- Preheat your oven according to the crescent roll packaging, usually to 350°F-375°F.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and lay it out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread 1-2 teaspoons of raspberry jelly/preserves onto each crescent roll triangle.
- Starting from the wide end, roll up each crescent tight. The filling may ooze out slightly.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
- To make a glaze, combine confectioners sugar and milk in a small bowl while whisking.
- Once the rolls have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over top.
Can I Use Homemade Crescent Dough Instead Of Premade?
homemade crescent dough can be substituted in place of refrigerated crescent rolls. The main benefit of using store-bought rolls seems to be convenience and speed. But homemade may allow for more customization.
You'll want to shape and fill the homemade crescent dough triangles in the same way, spreading jelly inside before rolling them up. Follow your homemade crescent roll baking instructions for temperature and timing to ensure they are fully cooked through. Adjust any glaze or icing amounts as needed.
Some Drink Options That Would Complement This Recipe
Coffee- A warm cup of coffee is a classic choice to enjoy with any baked goods. The slight bitterness balances out the sweetness of the rolls. Brew up your morning coffee or make an afternoon latte to enjoy alongside.
Tea- A soothing cup of black tea, herbal tea, or fruit-flavored tea brings out the sweet tang of the raspberry filling. Earl Grey is a nice complement with its hint of citrus.
Hot chocolate- For an extra decadent treat, dip these raspberry rolls in steaming hot chocolate. The chocolate notes dance with the fruit flavors. Top with whipped cream for over-the-top indulgence!
Milk- A cold, refreshing glass of milk washes down the sweetness perfectly. It also pairs nicely with any icing or glaze on top.
Orange juice- Fresh orange juice makes the berries “pop” with its citrusy tartness. Vitamin C also cuts through the richness.
Sparkling wine- Make it a special breakfast with a flute of bubbly! The effervescence acts as a great palate cleanser between bites of roll.
Pro Tips
- For best results, use refrigerated crescent roll dough rather than homemade. It helps them bake up lighter and flakier.
- To avoid sticking, line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Feel free to use other fruit jams or preserves besides raspberry, such as strawberry or apricot.
- For a fun twist, add a layer of cream cheese before the raspberry filling.
- Bake the full-time listed on the crescent roll package so they fully cook through. Underbaking leaves them doughy.
- Drizzle with glaze while still warm so it soaks in nicely. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top too if you'd like!
How To Store
Keep any unused rolls in a sealed container at room temperature for a maximum of 2 to 3 days. The rolls stay moist and delicious this way.
If you made a big batch and know you won't be able to eat them all in time, simply stash the container in the freezer, the rolls will keep beautifully frozen for 2-3 months.
thaw rolls overnight in the fridge or a few hours at room temperature. reheat them in a 300°F oven for 3-5 minutes right before serving. Talk about a tasty blast from the past!
