Ingredients
Filling
2 cans crescent roll dough8 count each
6ounces cream cheese, softened (I prefer Highland Dairy cream cheese)
1/3cupgranulated sugar
1/2teaspoon almond extract
1teaspoon fresh orange zest
Glaze
3/4cuppowdered sugar
1teaspoon fresh orange zest
2tablespoons melted butter
1/4teaspoon almond extract
3-4teaspoon orange juice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Unroll both rolls of crescent roll dough and separating each roll at the perforations so that you wind up with 16 triangles.
2 cans crescent roll dough
In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, extract, and orange zest until smooth.
Divide the prepared cream cheese mixture between the 16 triangles, spreading it out evenly, leaving a 1/8” border around each triangle.
Starting at the widest end of each triangle of dough (directly opposite of the point), roll up each one, just as it instructs on the crescent roll dough can.
Place each crescent roll onto a greased baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one.
Bake the crescents, uncovered, for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown.
While rolls are baking, combine all the glaze ingredients in a small bowl, mixing until smooth, adding the orange juice a bit at a time, as needed.
Remove the crescent rolls from the oven, letting them cool for 5 minutes, then drizzle each one with the prepared glaze. Serve the orange crescents warm or at room temperature.
Notes
These crescent rolls freeze well once they are baked and cooled. Add the orange glaze once the crescents have thawed.
