Unroll dough; separate into 8 triangles. With pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut each triangle in half lengthwise to 16 triangles. Spoon approximately 2 teaspoons cream cheese mixture onto each triangle. Roll up, starting at shortest side and rolling to opposite point. Place 8 crescents on parchment in air fryer basket point side down, spacing apart.
