See, I DO know how to come up with healthy treats! These buttery, doughy Crescents are filled with plump, nutritious Raspberries.
~Oh, and errr, sugar & gooey Lemony Glaze, but let’s focus on the healthy Raspberries, so we can have 2 servings! 😉
And since I subscribe to the belief that if there’s fruit in, on, near, or around a high calorie treat, that treat then becomes a low-cal healthy option by association. SOoo these are health-food!
…just go with it! 🙂
Each flaky Crescent is literally bursting with gorgeous ruby red Raspberries. They’re taken to another flavor level by way of a thick Lemon Glaze that totally balances out the sweet Berries perfectly!
Super delicious, quick, easy..and so impressive!
What you’ll need:
1 container of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
1-1/2 cups of frozen Raspberries..semi-thawed (I used unsweetened)!
1 cup Sugar
The Lemon Glaze:
1 cup of Powdered Sugar
2 tbsp. Lemon Juice and/or Zest…liquid will vary a bit, just make sure you get a nice thick consistency!
Directions:
Sprinkle the Crescents with the Sugar….
Add about 2 tbsp. of Berries (don’t over fill them, use your best judgement) to the wide end of the Crescent. Make sure to leave about a 1/8″ border, or so..and roll it up. ~Seal them well with a gentle pinch!
Bake them at 350 for about 12 minutes or until they are firm and golden. If they leak a little it’s no biggie, use more Glaze and cover it up..lol!
Prepare the Lemony Glaze by combining the Powdered Sugar with the Lemon Juice until it’s a thickness you like.
Drizzle them with the glaze and serve those beauties up…
Prepare for the tastiest bite ever! ~Enjoy! 🙂
Those look incredible and I am going to make them…have to!!
looks absolutely delicious, and I’m definately going to make. Just one question, if berries already have sugar added should you still sprinkle the rolls with sugar before adding the berries?
If the berries are per sweetened..I’d limit the sugar sprinkle a bit..but to taste. 🙂
