• The filling can also be substituted with your favorite pie filling

The Ingredients Needed for this Danish like ring…

(exact ingredient measurements and directions are in the printable below)

• crescent rolls – 2 cans are needed for this recipe
• softened cream cheese – I used regular, but you can substitute 1/3 less fat
• cherry pie filling – you’ll need 21 oz. – you can substitute other pie and cake filling flavors
• sugar – you’ll need 1/2 cup of granulated
• almond extract – you can substitute vanilla but I would suggest almond for the cherry filling. The pairing is delicious
• powdered sugar – this is for the glaze
• milk – just a small amount – use regular, skim or 2%sp

How Do You Make Cherry and Cream Cheese Crescent Roll Ring?

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix the cream cheese filling by beating the cream cheese, granulated sugar and extract
3. Unroll the crescent roll and separate the triangles
4. On a baking sheet or pizza pan lined with parchment paper make a ring with the crescent rolls by facing the crescent rolls the same way and placing the bottom of the triangles in a circle formation on the pan – you should have an empty circle in the center of the rolls with the tips of the triangles draping over the baking sheet
5. Spoon the cherry filling onto the wide portion of the crescent roll
6. Top the cherries with cream cheese filling
7. Fold the pointed tips of the crescent over and push under the wide section – tucking them with a butter knife or similar utensil if necessary
8. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the ring is golden brown
9. Mix the powdered sugar and milk
10. Drizzle over ring and serve
