• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 2 (8 ounce) cans crescent roll dough
• 1⁄2 cup chopped pitted dates
• 1⁄2 cup chopped dried fig
• 1⁄4 cup sugar
• 1⁄2 cup water
• 1 (3 ounce) box cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 cup powdered sugar

directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 f. Put dates, figs, water and sugar in a small pot on the stove, and bring to a boil. Boil briefly, to let fruits become soft. Reduce heat a simmer for several minutes.
2. Cool. While fruit cools, roll out and flatten crescent roll dough on a floured surface or floured waxed paper, pressing the dough together to create a single, long, flat rectangle.
3. Spread crescent dough with fruit, to within an inch of each edge of the dough. Roll up slowly and gently. Slice carefully into "rolls" (snail-like), and lay each roll on a greased cookie sheet.
4. Bake at 375 for 15-18 minutes or until dough is flaky and light brown, and fruit is bubbly.
5. While rolls bake, beat cream cheese, milk, and powdered sugar until smooth. When rolls are done, remove from oven. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to cool slightly, and then spread with cream cheese frosting. Eat warm!
