Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place 1/2 cup strawberries and water in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until smooth.
Step 3
Combine 3 tablespoons sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Add puréed strawberry mixture; cook and stir until strawberry sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining 2 cups strawberries and lemon juice. Set aside.
Step 4
Unroll dough. Place 1 crescent roll on top of another; roll up, starting at the small end, to make 4 rolled double crescents. Brush each double roll with 1/2 teaspoon heavy cream and sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoon sugar.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; cool completely.
Step 6
Split rolls in half horizontally; fill each with strawberry mixture and top with 1/2 cup whipped cream and crescent roll tops. Top servings with more strawberries mixture.
