Serves/Makes: 16
Ready in: 1-2 hrs

  • 2 cans (8 ounce size) reduced-fat crescent rolls
  • 4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

***Mardi Gras Icing***

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons skim milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • yellow, green, red, and blue food coloring

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 10-inch round pizza pan.

Separate the crescent rolls at the perforations and place the dough triangles in the pizza pan with the points in the center. Press about 3-inches of the seams together starting about halfway down from the center (do not press the seams together the entire length of the dough as you'll be rolling up the outer edges).

Combine the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed until fluffy and well mixed. Spread the cream cheese mixture on the dough, only covering where the dough has been pressed together.

In a small bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix until crumbly. Sprinkle over the cream cheese layer.

Fold the pointed ends of the dough over the filling. Then fold the bottom edges up over the points. The filling should be encased in dough. Seal any edges as needed.

Place the cake in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.

While the cake is baking, prepare the icing. Combine the confectioners' sugar, skim milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well then divide between three separate bowls. Add 2 or more drops of the yellow food coloring to the first bowl. Add 2 or more drops of green food coloring to the second bowl. Add 1 or more drops each of red and blue food coloring (to make purple) in the third bowl.

When the cake has baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. While still warm, drizzle each of the icings over the cake.

Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
