- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 16 small sprigs fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Foil Molds:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll foil sheets into cone shapes to create molds for the carrots.
-
Shape the Dough:
- Unroll crescent dough on a work surface.
- If using crescent rolls, press seams to seal.
- Cut dough lengthwise into 8 (1-inch) strips.
-
Form the Carrot Shapes:
- Wrap one strip around each foil mold, starting from the pointed end and slightly overlapping.
- Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
-
Bake:
- Bake for 7 to 9 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool completely before carefully removing the foil molds.
-
Prepare the Filling:
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese, parsley, chives, lemon peel, and salt until smooth.
-
Fill the Carrots:
- Use a piping bag or spoon to fill each crescent carrot with the herbed cream cheese mixture.
-
Add the Finishing Touch:
- Insert parsley sprigs into the open end to resemble carrot tops.
Notes
- Lightly grease the foil molds to prevent sticking.
- To achieve a more orange hue, brush unbaked dough with an egg wash mixed with orange food coloring.
- Best served fresh, but can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container
