Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
Dough & Coating
- 1 package crescent dough (8 oz)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1/4 cup sugar together until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries ensuring they are evenly incorporated into the mixture.
- Assemble the Bites: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles. Place about a teaspoon of the cheesecake-strawberry filling near the wider end of each triangle. Carefully roll the dough starting from the wide end towards the point, sealing the edges to contain the filling.
- Bake the Bites: Arrange the filled dough rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and puffed up.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Coating: While the bites bake, mix the 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
- Coat the Bites: Once baked, remove the bites from the oven and let them cool slightly for 3-5 minutes. While still warm, roll each bite in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow the bites to cool a bit more before serving to enjoy the perfect combination of crunchy, sweet, and creamy textures in every bite.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh and ripe strawberries to enhance the sweetness and texture.
- Do not overfill the dough to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- These bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- You can warm the cinnamon sugar coated bites slightly before serving for a freshly made feel.
