Stuffed Crescent Roll Carrots (Printable Version)

Golden crescent dough shaped into carrots with savory herb cheese filling

# Ingredient List:

→ Crescent Roll Carrots

01 - 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
02 - 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
03 - Orange food coloring (optional, for authentic carrot color)
04 - 8 fresh parsley sprigs (for carrot tops)

→ Filling

05 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
06 - 2 tbsp sour cream
07 - 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives
08 - 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill
09 - 1/4 cup finely shredded carrot
10 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
11 - 1/2 tsp onion powder
12 - Salt and pepper, to taste

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Mix a few drops of orange food coloring with the beaten egg to create an orange egg wash, if using.
03 - Unroll crescent roll dough and cut into 8 long strips. Wrap each strip around a metal cream horn mold or foil cone, overlapping slightly to form a carrot shape. Place seam side down on the baking sheet.
04 - Brush each wrapped cone with the orange egg wash for enhanced color.
05 - Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before gently removing the molds. Allow to cool completely.
06 - In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, chives, dill, shredded carrot, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
07 - Spoon the filling into a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the filling into each cooled crescent roll carrot.
08 - Insert a parsley sprig into the open end of each carrot to resemble carrot tops. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.

# Tips from hearthlykitchen:

01 -
  • They look impressive but are secretly so simple to make
  • The creamy herb filling is addictive and perfect for any celebration
02 -
  • The carrots must be completely cool before filling or the cream cheese filling will melt and get messy
  • Removing the molds too soon will cause the crescent shape to collapse so wait for that slight cool
03 -
  • Do not skip the cooling step or your filling will slide right out
  • Practice your wrapping technique on the first strip to get the hang of it
