These easy Almond Stuffed Crescent Rolls are filled with almond paste and topped with sweet almond icing! They’re the perfect quick-fix breakfast for a sweet tooth.
Almond Stuffed Crescent Rolls
So remember when I made that Sweet Almond Pastry?? Well I found an even easier way to create it using crescent rolls!
Normally I use puff pastry and braid it, but in a pinch I used a can of crescent rolls I had in the fridge. I was a little nervous until I tried my first bite — YUM.
Then Jorge and the girls got their hands on them and they were gone within seconds. I swear I saw Jorge with one in each hand at one point. Once you frost them they are like warm almond filled donuts!
You eat these Almond Stuffed Crescent Rolls while they are still warm and soft and full of almond paste and drizzled with sweet almond icing. It is the perfect combination and they only take 20 minutes to make. Yay quick weekend breakfast!
Seriously, do yourself a favor and try these immediately!

Can I make these almond danishes the day before and do they need refrigeration?
These are delicious and so easy! I’m mad that I left them in the oven too long and the bottoms are a little over done, but still tastes so good!
I just made these with my granddaughter very easy and delicious!
Can you nuke these in the microwave?
Hi Maggie – do you mean to just heat them back up or to cook them?
Yes, you can reheat them in the microwave – just heat them for about 10 seconds or less. Should be soft and warm again!
No, you can not cook them in the microwave. They must be baked in an oven.
Are you using the almond paste in a can or the one that comes in a soft roll?
These look fabulous and I can’t wait to try. Have you tried to reheat the next day. There is only the two of us> Thanks for any answers.
Almond Paste comes in both a soft roll or can — either is fine! Just make sure it says PASTE on the packaging! :-) And I would recommend making a half batch with the little can of 4 crescent rolls. They really don’t reheat well. Hope you enjoy them!
These crescent rolls are calling my name! Love that they are packed full of almond flavor…yum!
I know these amazing stuffed crescent rolls would be inhaled at my house, no question!
