Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles.
  3. Place a generous tablespoon of the cheesecake filling at the wide end of each triangle and spread gently.
  4. Roll up each triangle from the wide end, pinching the ends to seal. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Watch to avoid over-browning.
