Instructions

Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit).
Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into one piece for one serving.
In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese, key lime juice, and powdered sugar until smooth.
Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over the wide end of the crescent dough piece.
Roll the dough starting from the wide end to form a crescent shape.
Place the crescent on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
While baking, combine fresh raspberries, lemon juice, and granulated sugar in a small saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until raspberries break down and sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
Remove sauce from heat and strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds.
Let the raspberry sauce cool to room temperature.
Once crescents are baked and slightly cooled, drizzle with lemon raspberry sauce before serving.

Tips

Use fresh key lime juice for best flavor.
Do not overbake crescents to keep them soft and flaky.
Strain raspberry sauce to remove seeds for smooth texture.
