Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) dill pickle relish or finely chopped dill pickles
Dough Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) crescent roll dough (two 8-ounce/226 grams cans)
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) butter, melted
Garnish Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F, ensuring the rack is positioned in the center for even cooking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, blend cream cheese, ranch seasoning, and dill pickle relish until smooth and well-incorporated.
- Unroll both crescent roll dough sheets onto a clean surface, carefully pressing seams together to create a seamless rectangular surface.
- Distribute the creamy pickle mixture evenly across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow.
- Tightly roll the dough from the shorter side, creating a compact log that encases the filling completely.
- Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the log into 8 equal pieces, creating bite-sized pinwheel appetizers.
- Combine melted butter with fresh chopped dill in a small dish, then gently brush the mixture over the top of each rolled pinwheel.
- Arrange the pinwheels on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching, and bake for 20-22 minutes until they transform into a golden, crispy appetizer.
Notes
- Customize the ranch seasoning by adjusting salt and herbs to match personal taste preferences.
- Drain pickle relish thoroughly to prevent excess moisture from making the filling soggy.
- Create vegetarian-friendly version by using plant-based cream cheese and crescent roll dough.
- Prepare rolls ahead of time by assembling and refrigerating before baking, which helps maintain their shape and enhances flavor development.
