INGREDIENTS: 1 can of crescent roll dough 8 oz low-fat cream cheese, softened 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp lemon juice 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon Optional: fresh berries or powdered sugar for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Mix until completely smooth and creamy. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles along the perforations. Place about one tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Optionally, add a few fresh berries on top of the cheesecake filling for extra flavor. Roll each triangle up starting from the wide end toward the pointed tip, securing the filling inside. Arrange the rolled crescent rolls spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes on a wire rack. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or serve with extra honey or maple syrup for dipping. Serve warm and enjoy this delightful cheesecake-filled treat!"
