Strawberry Dumplings

These Strawberry Dumplings are warm, buttery, and bursting with fresh strawberry flavor. Crescent roll dough wraps around juicy strawberries, baked in a cinnamon-vanilla syrup until golden and bubbling. The result? A gooey, sweet dessert that’s perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It’s an easy, crowd-pleasing treat you’ll want to make all year round.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 30–35 minutes

Total Time: 45–50 minutes

Servings: Serves 6–8

Ingredients:

2 (8 oz) cans crescent roll dough
16 fresh strawberries, hulled
1 stick unsalted butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup lemon-lime soda

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Roll each strawberry in a triangle of crescent dough and place seam-side down in the prepared dish.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until combined. Remove from heat.
Pour the sauce evenly over the dumplings. Then pour the lemon-lime soda around the edges of the dish (not directly over the dumplings).
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the sauce is bubbly.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Serving Suggestions:

Top with vanilla ice cream for a classic warm/cold contrast
Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of caramel sauce
Garnish with fresh mint or sliced strawberries for a beautiful presentation

Tips:

Make sure to use firm, ripe strawberries so they don’t get mushy when baked.
Don’t skip the soda — it creates the gooey, syrupy base!
These dumplings are best served warm but reheat well in the microwave.
