The sweet filling in these Cheesecake Nutella Twists will have you adding another one to your breakfast plate.
Breakfast around here usually consists of Nutella Pop Tarts and and boxed cereal for the kids and cantaloupe and smoothies for the adults.
Actually, my kids love having muffins and pancakes too. This poses a dilemma for the night owl that I am.
I don’t generally function too well first thing in the morning. Loud noises are not my friend.
And cooking or baking while you are half asleep is not recommended because pancakes get much darker than expected when cooking them with your eyes closed.
I have come to the realization that hot breakfast is probably not something that I will excel at. So, I make up for it by baking things like Cheesecake Nutella Twists the afternoon or night before.
My kids get muffins and baked breakfasts. I get to sleep in while they eat it. It’s a win win for both parties involved.
Thank goodness for microwaves and toasters being fairly easy for school age kids to operate. We won’t talk about the time my son microwaved noodles without water…
These cheesecake rolls are so easy to make.
I might even be able to do it with my eyes closed…except my filling probably wouldn’t make it on the rolls.
How to make Cheesecake Nutella Twists:
Lay out the crescent rolls on a baking sheet. Press 2 triangles together to form a rectangle.
Scoop out a large tablespoon of Nutella and spread it down the right center.
Repeat with a large tablespoon of cheesecake filling down the left center.
Fold the sides over to the middle and gently pinch the seams together. Pinch the ends together too.
Flip the roll over carefully. Gently twist the roll. (You can also just pinch the roll together and skip the twist.) Pinch together any seams that come undone.
Bake and cool.
Drizzle with white chocolate!!!
I have a few of these left in my fridge…
anyone want to come over for coffee and a chit chat?

We do not have these crescent rolls , what are its ingredients ?
Jocelyn Brubaker says
It is a ready made dough that comes in a can. You could probably find a homemade dough recipe on google.

Luna says
I can not believe you would actually call this breakfast, and feed it to your children like it is. They should be drinking smoothies too. Not that these don’t sound amazing, but breakfast…really?
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Hi, Luna. I have to ask…do you eat donuts or danishes for breakfast? These really are not any different than those “breakfast” items 🙂 My kids eat lots of healthy food all week long, so I am ok with them eating these for breakfast every once in a while. Everything in moderation, right?

I agree with Luna, honestly. I’m not against treats, we all need them, but I quit eating non-nutritious sweets for breakfast myself 15 years ago in nursing school when I changed my first foot bandage on woman who had had half her foot amputated due to diabetes. Sweets can be a joy, but boy, when you see the horrible long-term consequences every week in a job like mine, for confusing sweet treats with nutrient-dense meal-time foods, it can really wake you up. I’m glad i got to view such awful things at a formative time in my life, I was a sweets addict and quite obese at the time, —I’m sure I’d be diabetic myself if had not gone to nursing school back then and gradually made radical changes in my dietary habits as a result of seeing many sad and horrible diabetic injuries and pain. I have more energy and alertness in the mornings now, too! —But I do love Nutella, and I’ll keep this one in mind! Sounds yummy. I won’t be eaing it for breakfast though. Maybe as a dessert,or afternoon coffee with friends. Thanks for the idea! My latest home-made obsession obsession to make are the maple-oat scones in the wonderful cookbook Flour. Mm. fun to have a variety!
