Storage and Leftovers For Cream Cheese Croissants
These croissants are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in the fridge in an airtight container for a day or two. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes for that fresh-baked feel or pop them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
I hope your family likes these as much as mine does. 🙂 Do you like sweet pastries for breakfast? What’s your favorite pastry?

In South Africa we do not have Pilsbury Crescents. What can I substitute.Can I use puff pastry.
Hi there! Yes, puff pastry will work. It will turn out a little more flaky which might be even better. 🙂 Just follow the cooking directions on the puff pastry as it might bake faster or slower than my original recipe with crescents. I’d love to hear how they turn out!
