Ingredients

1 pkg (250 g) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup (125 mL) sugar
1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
2 cans (each 235 g) Pillsbury* Crescents
4 tsp (20 mL) fruit preserves or jam

1/2 cup (125 mL) icing sugar
1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla
2 to 3 tsp (10 to 15 mL) milk

Steps

1

STEP 1 - Heat oven to 350°F. In small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Separate dough into 8 rectangles; press perforations to seal.
2

STEP 2 - Spread each rectangle with about 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture. Roll up each, starting at longest side; firmly pinch edges and ends to seal. Gently stretch each roll to about 10 inches. On ungreased large cookie sheet, coil each roll into a spiral with seam on the inside, tucking end under. Make deep indentation in center of each roll; fill with 1/2 teaspoon preserves.

STEP 3 - Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until deep golden brown. In small bowl, mix glaze ingredients, adding enough milk for desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm rolls.
