Hey there everyone, it’s Danielle from Live Well, Bake Often! I’m so happy to be back sharing this delicious recipe with you all while Amber is on maternity leave.
I really love this time of year because berries are in season and I love adding them to recipes when I can. So, I decided to combine one of my favorite berries with lemon for you all today! If you love the combination of lemons and berries, then I can guarantee that you will love these sweet rolls too.
To make these sweet rolls a little easier, we’re using a shortcut by using crescent roll dough. I told you these were easy, right? Just unroll the dough and pinch the seams together, add the filling, roll it up, then cut it into pieces and bake them! I find the easiest way to cut these is with unwaxed and unflavored dental floss, but a sharp knife will also work too. I prefer to bake these in a regular sized muffin pan as well, since it helps the rolls hold their shape much better.
I topped these sweet rolls with a delicious and easy lemon cream cheese frosting. I always set the cream cheese and butter I need out before I start the sweet rolls, that way they’re nice and soft and ready to be mixed once you take the rolls out of the oven.
So if you’re looking for a quick and easy breakfast or dessert, then definitely give these a try. I guarantee everyone will love them!

- Place each piece into the prepared muffin cavities. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
