Sunrise Crescent Rolls

Cookin'Diva's Note:

Refrigerator Crescent Rolls are baked with a filling of cream cheese and orange marmalade. Serve these rolls for special mornings (birthdays, holidays) or for brunch.

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 4

Yield: 2.0 crescents

• 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent dinner rolls (low-fat is fine)
• 1/3 cup orange marmalade
• 1/2 cup whipped cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon orange marmalade, melted
• 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions:

1. Instructions: Spray Pam on an 8 or 9” round cake pan and preheat oven to 350.
2. Unroll Crescent rolls and separate into 8 triangles. Place a knife-full of cream cheese on each roll, extending from side-to-side and about 1/3 of the way from the flat end.
3. Then spread about 2 t. Orange Marmalade from the cream cheese to the long thin point, covering about 2/3 of the roll.
4. Starting from the pointed tip where you have the orange marmalade, roll up each Crescent.
5. Place Crescents, seam-side down, in a spoke fashion in the round pan (see photo). You will have all 8 Crescents coming together in the middle. Press them together lightly, and add a bit more cream cheese and orange marmalade in the center area.
6. Bake 350 for 20 minutes.
7. Icing: Melt 1 t. or so of orange marmalade in microwave; stir in Confectioners Sugar. Drizzle over cooled rolls.

I didn't have any orange marmalade so I used Peachy Vanilla Jam . Delicious and easy. :) PAC Spring '07

Mmmm these were delicious! I had some orange marmalade in the fridge but was a little short (and forgot to buy more) so used cherry preserves for one roll & in the center. I skipped the icing as I thought they were just sweet enough without (even though I have a MAJOR sweet tooth!) Thanks so much for the recipe - I will be making it again for sure! :)
