Ingredients
For the Cruffins
- 1 can crescent dough
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Sugar (for sprinkling) For topping
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your muffin tin by greasing it or using muffin liners.
- In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface, pinch the seams together, and roll it out into a rectangle.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the dough, leaving borders. Scatter fresh raspberries on top.
- Roll the dough into a log and slice it into 1½-inch thick sections. Stand slices upright in the muffin tin.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden.
- Allow cruffins to cool slightly in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Ensure dough is rolled thinly for maximum flakiness.
