Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (8 ounces/226 grams) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 ounces (60 grams) cream cheese, softened
Sweeteners and Spices:
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Liquid and Binding Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Prepare your culinary workspace by warming the oven to 375F (190C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for seamless preparation.
- Carefully unfurl the crescent roll dough onto the prepared surface, gently smoothing and pressing the seams together to create a uniform pizza-like foundation.
- Transform the dough’s surface by generously painting melted butter across the entire landscape, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Craft a fragrant cinnamon-sugar blend by thoroughly mixing granulated sugar with ground cinnamon in a separate bowl.
- Lavishly scatter the aromatic cinnamon-sugar mixture over the butter-coated dough, creating a delicate, even sprinkle that promises sweet complexity.
- Slide the prepared pizza into the preheated oven, allowing it to bake until the edges turn a golden, appetizing brown and the dough achieves a perfectly crisp texture, approximately 10-12 minutes.
- While the pizza bakes, whip together cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture transforms into a silky, smooth icing.
- Once the pizza emerges from the oven, drizzle the creamy icing in elegant swirls across the warm surface.
- Slice the pizza into delectable wedges and serve immediately, capturing the magical moment of warm, sweet indulgence.
Notes
- Customize the dough by using gluten-free crescent roll options for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Experiment with alternative sweeteners like coconut sugar or monk fruit for a lower-glycemic version.
- Ensure even butter coverage by using a pastry brush to spread it smoothly across the entire surface.
- Prevent over-browning by watching the pizza closely during the last few minutes of baking, as ovens can vary in temperature and intensity.
