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 Butter Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 12 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Position an oven rack in the center and heat to 375°F (190°C), preparing a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared surface, gently pressing the perforated seams together to create a seamless rectangular or circular base that will serve as the pizza foundation.
- Melt the butter and generously brush it across the entire surface of the dough, ensuring complete and even coverage to help the cinnamon-sugar mixture adhere perfectly.
- Combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small mixing bowl, thoroughly blending the ingredients until well integrated.
- Liberally sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the butter-coated dough, distributing the topping evenly to guarantee a consistent flavor profile in every bite.
- Transfer the prepared pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching carefully until the dough transforms into a golden-brown, crispy canvas.
- While the pizza bakes, create the cream cheese icing by whisking the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until the mixture becomes smooth and luxuriously creamy.
- Once the cinnamon-sugar pizza emerges from the oven, allow it to cool momentarily before drizzling the cream cheese icing across the surface in an artistic pattern.
- Slice the warm pizza into wedges or squares and serve immediately to capture the optimal texture and temperature.
Notes
- Perfectly press crescent roll seams to create a smooth, even base without any gaps for uniform baking.
- Brush butter generously to ensure cinnamon-sugar mixture adheres evenly and creates a crispy, caramelized texture.
- Experiment with alternative sweeteners like coconut sugar or monk fruit for low-sugar or diabetic-friendly versions.
- Cool slightly before adding cream cheese icing to prevent quick melting and maintain a beautiful drizzle pattern.
