Ingredients
  

  • Strawberry Filling:
  • One quart sliced strawberries mix with 2 tsp sugar and refrigerate for at least an hour
  • 4 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup powder sugar
  • 1 T vanilla
  • 2 tsp strawberry juice
  • Pastry:
  • 8 oz can Pillsbury Crescent Dough Sheet Original
  • Frosting:
  • 1/4 cup powder sugar
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • add low-fat milk to thin the frosting a bit, if you prefer it thinner

Instructions
 

  • Wash, de-stem, and slice the strawberries. Mix the strawberries in a medium bowl with the sugar.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • When the strawberries are ready, drain the berries from their juice. Reserve the juice in a separate container. Combine all filling ingredients and add 2 tsp strawberry juice to it. Mix well.
  • Lay out crescent dough on an ungreased cookie sheet. Slice the dough sheet into six large squares. Stuff each square with a large mound of strawberry filling. Fold the dough square into a triangle shape around the stuffing. Use your fingers to pinch around two edges of the triangle. Dust with cinnamon (optional) and bake for 10-13 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Serve warm with drizzled frosting. Garnish with lemon zest and sliced strawberries.
