Cinnamon Sugar Pizza with Crescent Rolls – sweet easy recipes win again

This cinnamon sugar pizza with crescent rolls tastes like a warm hug at the end of a long day. Soft, buttery dough meets a golden cinnamon crunch, then melts beneath a creamy drizzle that’s somewhere between frosting and magic. I’ve made this late at night, early in the morning, and—don’t judge me—once for lunch when life demanded dessert before dinner. We start with store-bought crescent rolls because life is complicated, and baking doesn't have to be. Unroll, press, mix, sprinkle, bake—it's the kind of sweet therapy you can pull off with one eye open and a coffee in hand. The sugar caramelizes just enough to feel gourmet, but we both know it took ten minutes of effort and the will to not eat the topping straight out of the bowl. Whether you're after sweet easy recipes to whip up in a pinch, or you're on a mission to convince someone that dessert pizza is totally a thing—this one brings joy. And yes, I licked the spoon. Don't pretend you won't.
