How to Make Almond Filled Crescent Rolls

  1. Preheat oven to the temperature specified on your crescent roll package. Place oven rack in the center.
  2. Grate 4 ounces of almond paste using the large holes of a grater.
  3. In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, combine the grated almond paste, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened unsalted butter. Beat until well combined.
  4. Beat on high speed for at least 2 minutes, until the mixture is light and creamy.
  5. Add 1 large egg and beat on high speed for about 1 minute, until smooth.
  6. Gradually add 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, mixing until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  7. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into triangles.
  8. Spread a generous amount of the almond filling onto each triangle. Sprinkle with slivered almonds, if desired.
  9. Roll each triangle up from the wide end towards the point, then gently curve into a crescent shape.
  10. Bake according to the time indicated on the crescent roll package.
  11. Refrigerate leftover filling for up to 4 days.
  12. Filling can be frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before using.
