Ingredients
Scale
For the Rolls:
- 1 package (about 8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large banana, mashed
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1 package (about 8 oz) crescent roll dough (or puff pastry)
For Topping:
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Then, mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until well combined. Gently fold in the mashed banana until evenly distributed. Finally, swirl in the Nutella just until combined, creating beautiful swirls without fully blending.
- Assemble the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate it into triangles. Spoon a generous amount of the Nutella banana cheesecake filling onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll them up tightly from the wide end to the point and arrange the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over them for a sweet and spiced finish.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly to set.
- Serve: Optionally dust the warm rolls with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy these delicious Nutella Banana Cheesecake Rolls fresh for the best creamy and flaky experience.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- You can substitute puff pastry dough if crescent roll dough is unavailable.
- For a stronger banana flavor, use a very ripe banana.
- Serve warm for the creamiest texture and best flavor contrast between the rich filling and crispy dough.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
