Equipment

  • Piping Bag
  • Mini Muffin Pans

Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent dough
  • 8 oz block cream cheese softened
  • 4-5 large strawberries
  • 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp. lemon zest
  • ¼ cup white sugar plus 1 tsp
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • Non-stick Cooking Spray

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Chop strawberries into small pieces and add to a small bowl.
  • Add 1 teaspoon sugar and stir until combined. Set aside.
  • Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, combine cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, vanilla extract and lemon juice.
  • Mix on medium for 1 minute.
  • Add lemon zest and strawberries and mix until combined.
  • Add mixture to piping bag and set aside.
  • Unroll croissant dough. Cut each triangle in half, making 16 smaller triangles.
  • Spray muffin tins with cooking spray.
  • Add a piece of dough into each muffin slot, allowing edges to hang over (you may have to stretch some out a bit to make it fit).
  • Cut the tip of the piping bag (make sure you cut enough to allow the pieces of strawberries to easily come out) and add mixture.
  • Fill each slot with mixture.
  • Bring the edges of dough together and pinch to secure.
  • Bake for 8 minutes, or until it starts to turn golden brown.
  • Allow to cool so mixture inside will set.

Notes

Leftover filling can be used to decorate a platter or you can add a dollop to the top of each puff.
This makes 16 puffs.
