These crescent rolls are filled with white chocolate cream cheese but you could sub in cream cheese sweetened with powdered sugar. Not into chocolate? Try blueberry jam or orange marmalade. We always have this Strawberry Freezer Jam on hand as well- who else loves chocolate covered strawberries?

Helpful Tips for Silky Smooth Cream Cheese

For a perfectly smooth white chocolate cream cheese, measure the powdered sugar, then sift it with a hand sifter or mesh strainer before adding it to the cream cheese mixture.

It is best to use white chocolate melting and dipping candy discs such as Ghirardelli rather than white chocolate chips. Chocolate chips do not contain cocoa butter and are designed to keep their shape. So while you technically can melt chocolate chips, you will have better success using melting discs designed for that purpose. Here is a full explanation from Cook’s Illustrated.
