Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package crescent roll dough refrigerated sheet
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 2 tablespoons sugar for sprinkling
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon divided

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Rolling pin
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough and lay it flat on a lightly floured surface, pressing seams to seal and create one continuous sheet.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the beaten egg and mix until well combined.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent dough sheet, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
  5. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cinnamon over the filling, then carefully roll the dough from one long side into a tight log, starting at one end and rolling to the other.
  6. Gently shape the rolled log into a circle, pinching the ends together to form a wreath shape. Transfer onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Using a sharp knife, carefully make several cuts around the wreath to expose the filling and create the spiral pattern.
  8. Mix the remaining cinnamon with sugar and sprinkle evenly over the top of the wreath.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffed, and the filling is bubbling.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. The wreath should be flaky on the outside with a creamy filling visible in the spiral.
  11. Slice into wedges and enjoy this festive, spiral-shaped dessert packed with cinnamon flavor and creamy goodness.
