Servings: 12 Servings
Calories: 294kcal
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Crescent Roll Dough 2 tubes
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese
- ½ cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract divided
- 1 ½ cups Raspberry Pie Filling add more or less to taste
- ½ cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk or heavy cream, use more if needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit.
- Start by unrolling the crescent roll dough and carefully separating the triangles. Lay the pieces out on a large baking sheet or round pizza pan that has been covered with parchment paper.
- Arrange the triangles into a circle with the points of the triangles pointing outward. Overlap the wider part of the triangles leaving a 4-inch circle in the center.
- Spoon the raspberry pie filling onto the circle formed by the crescent rolls.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla until you achieve a smooth consistency.
- Next, dollop the creamy cream cheese mixture on top of the pie filling.
- Gently lift the points of the triangles of the dough and fold them over the filling, tucking them under the inside of the circle. This will create a large crescent ring, with the delicious filling still visible between the crescent rolls.
- Bake the Raspberry Crescent Ring for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Cool for 20 minutes on the baking sheet.
- While your raspberry crescent ring cools, whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy whipping cream, and the remaining ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract in a small bowl.
- Add the cream gradually, just 1 tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. It should be just thin enough to drizzle.
- Finally, generously drizzle the easy glaze over the top of the crescent ring for that extra layer of sweetness. Enjoy!
Notes
Tips
It is best to assemble this crescent ring on the pan you will be baking it on. Prepare an cookie sheet or a pizza pan by covering it with parchment paper. Give the parchment paper a light spray of non-stick cooking spray before adding the crescent dough.
This recipes calls for 1 ½ cups of the raspberry pie filling. That is about ⅔ of the can. You can add more or less to taste. Careful you don't add too much. Overfilling will make it difficult to fold the crescent rolls and keep the ring shape.
The leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for up to five days.
