How to Make Raspberry Cream Cheese Swirls

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, beat together 4 ounces (113g) cream cheese, softened, and 1/4 cup powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Gently fold in 1/2 cup raspberry preserves until well combined.
  4. Open one package (8 ounces) of refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate into 4 rectangles.
  5. Firmly press the perforations to seal each rectangle.
  6. Lightly flour a clean surface. Roll or press each rectangle into a 7x4-inch rectangle.
  7. Spread about 3 tablespoons of the cream cheese filling evenly over each rectangle, leaving a 1/4-inch border.
  8. Starting from the short end, tightly roll each rectangle into a cylinder.
  9. Place the rolls on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  10. Once chilled, cut each roll into 4 equal pieces.
  11. Place the swirls cut-side down on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving about 1/2 inch between each.
  12. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  13. While the swirls bake, prepare the glaze: Whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoons milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  14. Once baked, let the swirls cool slightly before drizzling with the glaze.
  15. Serve warm and enjoy!
