Ingredients in carrot shaped stuffed crescent rolls:
- 8 (12x4-inch) sheets of foil or cannoli cones
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count) or 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Dough Sheet
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup chopped fresh herbs
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 16 small sprigs fresh parsley
How to make carrot shaped stuffed crescent rolls:
- Heat oven to 400°F. Roll sheets of foil from shorter ends into cone-shaped molds. Or use a cone mold, like we are! Unroll dough on work surface; if using crescent rolls, press seams to seal. Use pizza cutter or knife to cut dough lengthwise into 8 (1-inch) strips.
- Wrap 1 strip around each mold to create carrot shape. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to cooling rack; cool completely before removing foil molds.
- In medium bowl, beat cream cheese, parsley, chives, lemon peel and salt with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and combined. Pipe or spoon cream cheese mixture into cavity of each crescent. Top with 2 sprigs parsley for carrot top.
