These Lemon Cream Cheese Pinwheels are a breakfast treat I genuinely adore.

They’re bright and cheery, and remind me of spring time. The fresh scent of lemon mixing with buttery pastry dough is enough to wake even the most tired from their slumber and make them come running to the kitchen.

What’s even better is the fact that these delicious little pastries take only minutes to whip up. So you’ll be enjoying a fresh baked breakfast treat in no time at all!

I used lemon curd and a sweetened cream cheese mixture to fill these Pillsbury crescent rolls. I love lemon curd – it’s a tamed down version of lemons in a spreadable form. You can find it near all the other jellies and jams at your grocery store.

So if you’re in the mood for some Spring time and a beautiful breakfast treat, then you’ll want to jump on over to Pillsbury to check out this wonderfully easy recipe!

Mmm… look at all those buttery, flakey layers!

Love!
