Crescent roll

1 package (3 oz.) cream cheese, softened                        

1/4 cup granulated sugar                        

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons grated lemon peel

1 can (8 oz.) Pillsbury™ Crescent Recipe Creations™ refrigerated seamless dough sheet or 1 can (8 oz.) Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls                                       

Glaze                           

1/2 cup powdered sugar

2 to 3 teaspoons milk              

 

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix cream cheese, granulated sugar, lemon juice and lemon peel with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.                               

Unroll dough sheet. (If using crescent rolls, unroll dough and separate into 2 large rectangles.

 

Overlap long sides to form 13x7-inch rectangle; firmly press edges and perforations to seal.) Spread cream cheese mixture on rectangle to within 1/2 inch of edges.

 

Starting with 1 long side of rectangle, roll up; pinch edge to seal.

 

With serrated knife, cut into 12 slices.                               

 

Arrange slices on cookie sheet in a circle, overlapping slightly.

 

Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. In small bowl, mix Glaze ingredients until thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over warm crescent ring.           

Sprinkle the crescent ring with powdered sugar in place of the glaze if you like.

You can prepare the crescent ring up to 2 hours ahead of time; cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Add a few extra minutes to the bake time.
