Ingredients
- 2 cans crescent rolls
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened (low fat can be used)
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 can raspberry pastry filling
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° F (190°C)
- Open both cans of crescent rolls, and place triangles of dough with points on the outer edges and short edge in the middle. Use a roller to flatten center.
- Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar and spread on the center of dough.
- Use a small cookie scoop to do a line of pastry filling down the very middle (cream cheese will be twice the width).
- Bring dough points over in braid pattern and secure on other side.
- Brush dough with egg , and bake for approximately 20 mins (check at 18 minutes).
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Slice it up, grab a plate and a fork - and DEVOUR!
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Using pastry filling vs pie filling is KEY. Pie filling will spread and ooze out of the braid, and create a very delicious, but still, pretty big mess.
- Change up the flavors! Apple pie filling, with a dusting of cinnamon sugar on the outside before baking is sooo good!
