Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups — sliced fresh strawberries, divided

  • ½ cup — water

  • 3 tablespoons — white sugar

  • 1 tablespoon — cornstarch

  • 2 tablespoons — freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 1 (8 ounce) package — refrigerated crescent roll dough (such as Pillsbury®

  • 2 teaspoons — heavy whipping cream

  • 2 teaspoons — white sugar

  • 2 cups — whipped cream

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place 1/2 cup strawberries and water in a food processor and process until smooth.
  • Combine 3 tablespoons sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Add pureed strawberries. Cook and stir until strawberry sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining 2 cups sliced strawberries and lemon juice. Set aside.
  • Unroll dough. Place 1 crescent atop another and roll up, starting at the smallest end, to make 4 double-rolled crescents. Brush each roll with 1/2 teaspoon heavy whipping cream and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon sugar.
  • Bake crescents until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
  • Split each roll in half horizontally and fill with strawberries. Top with 1/2 cup whipped cream and the top half of the crescent roll. Top with more strawberries.
