Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Fresh parsley sprigs for garnish

Instructions
 

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • 2. Lightly grease cream horn molds or foil cone molds to prevent sticking.
  • 3. Unroll the crescent dough and pinch the seams together to form smooth sheets.
  • 4. Cut the dough into long strips about 3/4 inch wide.
  • 5. Wrap each strip around the cone molds slightly overlapping the dough as you go.
  • 6. Place the wrapped molds onto the prepared baking sheet seam-side down.
  • 7. Whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
  • 8. Brush the dough evenly with the egg wash for a golden finish.
  • 9. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  • 10. Allow the pastry cones to cool slightly before gently removing the molds.
  • 11. In a mixing bowl combine cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, chives, dill, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  • 12. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  • 13. Transfer the filling to a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner trimmed.
  • 14. Pipe the filling into the cooled pastry cones.
  • 15. Insert fresh parsley sprigs into the open ends to create carrot tops.
  • 16. Chill briefly before serving for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Allow the pastry cones to cool completely before adding the filling to keep the texture flaky and crisp.
Wrap the crescent dough slightly overlapping to prevent gaps from forming while baking.
Chilling the filled pastry carrots for a few minutes before serving helps the filling firm up beautifully.
