Tips for making a Cream Cheese Crescent Roll Ring…

  • The fruit will make the crescent roll slippery, so you can use a butter knife or straight edge spatula to help tuck the tip under the wide end
  • You can substitute the almond extract for vanilla extract

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

    I am going to make this for a holiday event. I am going to make it in the shape of a candy cane and see how that works.

      You’ll love it! I hope the candy cane works out. I think that would be adorable. It has the perfect colors for it!

    Very easy. Made it for Valentines in the shape of a heart. I spread the cream cheese first, then topped with the cherry filling.

      I love that idea! What a delicious Valentine’s Day breakfast!
