Cranberry Cream Cheese Rolls with Eggnog Glaze

In my family, only my husband likes cranberry sauce and let’s be real here; he alone can’t fulfill the cranberry to turkey ratio when it comes to leftovers. So with that being said, there is usually a lot of cranberry sauce that goes to waste. This year I was determined to not let that happen and came up with these Cranberry Cream Cheese Rolls, along with a savory dinner that I have on The Bewitchin’ Kitchen.

These cranberry cream cheese rolls are super easy to make. I used Grands Crescent Rolls, they make amazing cinnamon rolls and other desserts. I first tried out the crescents rolls with my recipe for Pumpkin Pie Cinnamon Rolls and they were a huge hit. A tasty dessert that requires minimal effort is a huge win in my books.

To make these crescent rolls into a cinnamon roll style dessert is easy: simply unroll the dough and pinch the seams together so it’s one big piece of carby-deliciousness.

Spread the cream cheese over the dough, layer on the cranberry sauce and sprinkle with a little sugar.

Roll it up, slice it into 14 1 inch pieces and bake. I made an eggnog glaze to pour over top of the rolls to keep with the holiday theme, but a regular glaze would be great too. Another option would be to whip cream cheese and any further cranberry sauce with a glaze base for a creamy berry frosting.
