Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, pumpkin puree, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or whisk.
  • Assemble the Crescent Rolls
  • Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Place a spoonful of the filling onto the wider end of each triangle.
  • Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end to the tip, enclosing the filling. Pinch any open edges lightly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
