Servings: 12 servings
Equipment
- 14-inch round pizza pan
- handheld electric mixer
- spatula
Ingredients
- 2 cans (8 ounces each) crescent roll dough
- 1 can (21 ounces) Cherry Pie Filling
- 1 package (8 ounecs) cream cheese, softened at room temperature
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a round pizza pan (14-inches)with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until fluffy. I use a handheld mixer for this step.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate the triangles. Place triangles overlapping with long pointed ends outward onto the pizza pan, as shown in the picture in blog post. There should be a 6-inch circle left in the middle of the pan.
- Spread cherries over the overlapped areas of the dough (the wider part).
- Then spread spoonfuls of cream cheese mixture over the cherry filling.
- Fold pointed ends of crescents over the filling and pinch into the overlapped dough area to seal. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before adding the glaze. Mix powdered sugar and milk until glaze is smooth – drizzle over the baked cherry ring. Serve warm
