This Cherry Cream Cheese Crescent Ring is super simple and tastes amazing. If you are feeding a crowd breakfast or even dessert, this danish type ring is going to work perfectly. Since this ring uses store bought crescent dough, it can be whipped up in no time at all.
Over the holidays, I am always anxious to make a breakfast that will feed a crowd. I shared our Easy Breakfast Braid with you a few weeks ago. It too uses store bought crescent dough and is so super simple to make. My hubby loved my Biscuits and Gravy Casserole I made for him last week. This Cherry Cream Cheese Crescent Ring is so easy, looks good, and tastes good too. I like that it makes 16 slices of pastry to serve to my family and guests.

I used cherry pie filling in our crescent ring, you could use strawberry, blueberry, or any pie filling that your heart desires. The fruit combined with the cream cheese filling works perfectly together. The crescent dough is so easy to work with and requires very little effort.
I made this crescent ring to serve for breakfast but I think it would make for a great dessert too. The sweet pie filling, cream cheese mixture, and the icing drizzled on top can make it suitable for either.
Just a few simple ingredients are needed to make this simple but eye pleasing ring. Grab two store bought cans of crescent rolls, a package of cream cheese, a can of pie filling, sugar, and vanilla. I had our ring in the oven in just a couple of minutes time.
INGREDIENTS
2 cans Crescent Rolls
8 oz softened Cream Cheese
21 oz Cherry Pie Filling
1/2 cup Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
1 cup Powdered Sugar
1 tbsp Milk
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350.
Beat creamy cheese with sugar and vanilla until fluffy.
Unroll crescent dough and separate.
On a pizza pan place triangles overlapping with long pointed ends outward. So that there is about a 6″ circle left in the middle of the pan.
Spread cherries over the lapped dough area.
Spread dollops of cream cheese mixture over the cherry filling.
Fold pointed ends of crescents over the filling and pinch into lapped dough to seal.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Mix Powdered sugar and milk until smooth glaze forms.
Drizzle glaze over ring.

This recipe is a show stopper. The only downfall is that you will be asked to make it at every event!
I remember a very similar recipe from Pampered Chef years ago. Doing a quick search, I made this version from this blog and it is WAY too sweet!! I knew when i saw 1/2 cup of sugar that it was too much and i was wondering where the egg was….regret making this version as it was sickeningly sweet. Everyone agreed it was too sweet. And without an egg to bind, it was too mushy and contributed to it tasting sweeter. Had to toss unfortunately. Recommend reducing sugar measure to 1/4 cup and adding an egg.
This dessert is amazingly delicious! Looking forward to making it with other fruit, although cherry will be hard to beat.
Oh, I’m dying. This looks fantastic. I’m hoping that soon they will come out with gluten free crescent rolls in a tube, because I would love to make this gluten free. I’ve featured it at Thursday Favorite Things today. :)
I will take one of each in ALL those flavors! I like how easy you make this recipe to be. Thanks so much for sharing it and I have pinned it to try out. #HomeMattersParty
I have a question. What size crescent dough tube is needed for this recipe? It doesn’t say in ingredients.
I made the crescent roll with cream cheese and cherry pie filling, it turned out just the way i thought it would. And it’s a quick desert and was excellent. Would definitely make it again.
Absolutely delicious! I made it the night before…took into work. Warmed each slice for about 10 seconds in microwave. Everyone loved it.

Should this be refrigerated because of the milk in the drizzle?
