There are a few things I have discovered in this game of life.

One: There is no pain quite like getting some orange peel (and subsequently orange juice) stuck under your fingernail.

Two: Nothing can make me crazier than unexpected traffic. Like, if it’s 4 pm, I get it. But, if it’s 11 am on a random Wednesday, why are we all on the road at the same time? Where are you going?? What are you doing? I need to know.

Three: Fruit mixed in salad isn’t nearly as weird as I thought it was (and sometimes, it actually tastes really, really good—case and point, Strawberry, Avocado, & Bacon Spinach Salad).

Four: Wet jeans are the actual worst.

Five: Strawberry Lemon Cheesecake Croissants (aka Strawberry Lemon Cheesecake Crescent Rolls, because why make homemade croissants when you can pop open a can? #convenience), are some of the greatest, easiest things in the entire world.

All right, so I mentioned this above, but these strawberry lemon cheesecake croissants use canned crescent roll biscuit dough.

Don’t hate me.

I know that technically—technically—crescent roll dough is not the same as a homemade croissant pastry. However, they have similar characteristics, so I feel fairly confident calling these “croissants.”

I mean, they’re buttery, they have the same shape, and it’s hard to stop at just one. So…to me, totally the same (with the added bonus that crescent rolls are soooooo easy). 😜

Next, let’s discuss the filling in these cute ‘lil strawberry lemon cheesecake crescent rolls.

Strawberries. Lemon. Cream Cheese. Basically, the trifecta of flavors.

Because if there was one thing in the world I can’t get enough of, it’s all things strawberry lemon. Strawberry Lemon Coffee Cake, Strawberry Lemon Cream Scones, Strawberry Lemon Pie…I digress.

It’s an obsession, yes, but given the taste, it’s a valid obsession.

As of late, the strawberries around here have been so ridiculously sweet (and I’ve been using them in straight everything, hence these Strawberry Blondies), and, well, I just couldn’t help myself. They had to be paired with something lemony.

And topped (or drenched) in a lemon glaze.

Strawberry Lemon Cheesecake Croissants Tips & Tricks:

  • Use room temperature cream cheese. Not only is it easier to mix, it also yields a smoother texture for the cheesecake filling.
  • You only need a Tbsp or two of filling inside of the crescent roll dough. If there’s too much filling inside, it’s not a big deal, but it will seep out the sides of the dough, thus the croissants won’t look as pretty (but they’ll still taste great!).
  • You want to roll the crescent dough beginning with the wide end of the triangle and ending at the point. I pinch the ends of the dough together to keep the filling inside.
  • These are made with just 6 ingredients (I know!!). Technically, if you include the vanilla extract, it’s 7 ingredients. I consider vanilla extract a household ingredient/flavoring so I consider it more of a seasoning rather than a have-to-buy-at-the-store-ingredient.

  6. Spoon 1-2 Tbsp of strawberry lemon cheesecake filling onto the wide end of the triangles.
