Method
Preheat and fill
- Preheat oven to 375F and line a sheet pan with parchment or a light coating of nonstick spray so the rolls bake evenly.
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese, pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth.
- Separate the refrigerated crescent roll dough into triangles and place 1 teaspoon of pumpkin filling on the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll each triangle up from the wide end to the point and set the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Bake and glaze
- Brush the tops with melted butter, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar so the centers stay tender and the crust browns.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes at 375F until golden.
- Mix and drizzle the cinnamon glaze over the warm rolls right after baking so it melts into a thin coating.
Notes
For clean, even portions, use a 1-teaspoon measuring spoon for the filling and keep the filling in a small spoonable mound while you work. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days and rewarm at 300F for 5-7 minutes. Freezing is not recommended because the crescent texture softens after thawing. To make it dairy-light, use reduced-fat cream cheese and swap milk in the glaze with unsweetened lactose-free milk.
