A quick and easy recipe featuring buttery crescent rolls stuffed with macerated fresh strawberries and fluffy whipped cream, perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tube (8 oz / 226 g) refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, sifted
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Macerate the strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon zest (if using). Toss gently and let sit for about 10 minutes.
  2. Whip the cream: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and position the rack in the middle.
  4. Unroll the crescent dough on a lightly floured surface and separate into 8 triangles along the perforated lines.
  5. Assemble the rolls: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the macerated strawberries near the wide end of each triangle, then add about 1 tablespoon of whipped cream on top.
  6. Roll each triangle from the wide end toward the pointed tip, enclosing the filling, and tuck the point underneath to seal.
  7. Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet spaced about 1 inch apart and brush each with melted butter.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the rolls are puffed and golden brown.
  9. Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet and serve warm.

Notes

Do not overfill the rolls to prevent leaking. Chill assembled rolls for 10 minutes before baking to help them hold shape. Use a hand mixer for best whipped cream results. Avoid microwaving leftovers to prevent sogginess; reheat in oven instead.
