Ingredients

  • 2 containers Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

For The Raspberry Filling

For The Cream Cheese Filling

For The Glaze Drizzle

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375° 

For The Raspberry Filling

  • In a small saucepan over low heat, add raspberries, sugar, 3 tablespoons water, lemon juice together.
  • Stir and cook for until raspberries have fallen apart, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  • In a small mixing bowl, mix remaining water and cornstarch until combined then add to raspberry mixture.
  • Continue stirring until raspberry mixture has thicken. Set aside to cool.

For The Cream Cheese Filling

  • In a medium mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add sugar, egg yolk, vanilla, lemon juice and beat for an additional 2 minutes.

Making The Pastry Ring

  • Unroll crescent rolls and separate into pre cut triangles.
  • Place triangles on an ungreased baking sheet so that the wider end of the crescent is in the center forming the circle with about a 5 inch opening in the center and the smaller tip of the crescent is on the outside.
    *When forming the circle, the wider ends of the crescents will overlap each other. Spread cream cheese mixture over the wide part of the crescents.
  • Spoon raspberry filling on top of cream cheese mixture.
  • Fold the small tip of the crescent over and tuck under the wider part to secure forming the ring.
  • Bake for approximately 20 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes.

Making The Glaze Drizzle

  • In a small bowl, stir powdered sugar and milk together until combined (might need more milk/sugar as desired).
  • Drizzle glaze over pastry ring, once cooled, and cut into desired portions. Enjoy!

Notes

Tips
  • Keep your filling at a low simmer and stir constantly to avoid sticking or scorching.
  • Fully soften your cream cheese for easy, complete mixing and the richest, creamiest texture.
  • Ensure the bases of your crescent triangles fully overlap one another to keep the filling in place. The hole in the center should be around 5 inches.
  • Cool your pastry ring for a few minutes before adding the glaze. If the dough is too hot, the glaze will just slide right off.
