Raspberry Cream Cheese Crescent Ring
Description
This recipe assembles refrigerated crescent roll dough triangles by arranging them in a circular pattern, with the wider ends overlapping and the points facing outward, creating a 4-inch empty center. A sweet filling mixture combines softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and almond extract, spooned over a layer of raspberry pie filling placed on the dough circle. The pointed dough tips are folded over the filling and tucked under the inside of the circle, leaving the filling partially exposed. Baking at 350°F for 20-25 minutes results in a golden-brown ring with a flaky, buttery crust. The dough’s layering and folding give the ring a unique texture, combining a crisp exterior with tender pastry edges and sweet, creamy, and fruity filling.
After cooling to room temperature, a glaze made of powdered sugar whisked with milk or cream is typically added, enhancing the sweetness and providing a finishing sheen. This pastry ring is well-suited to serve as a dessert or a sweet breakfast item. Its attractive presentation and combination of cream cheese, raspberry, and almond flavors define its character.
Ingredients
- 2 tubes crescent roll dough 8 ounces each, refrigerated
- 1 ounce cream cheese softened, package
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 can (21 ounces) raspberry pie filling
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the triangle. On a large pan or pizza pan, lay out the crescent rolls in a large circle, with the wide ends of the crescent roll triangles forming the circle and overlapping a bit, and the top points of the triangles pointing outward like a sunburst. There should be an empt circle in the middle, about 4 inches across.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Stir in the almond extract.
- Spoon the raspberry pie filling into a circle over the crescent rolls. Drop the cream cheese mixture by spoonfuls on top of the pie filling.
- Bring the points of the triangles of the dough up over the filling and tuck under the inside of the circle to form a large pastry ring. The filling will still be visible between the crescent rolls.
- Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely to room temperature.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar with the milk or heavy whipping cream, adding just 1 tablespoon of milk/cream at a time until the frosting reaches your desired consistency (thin enough to drizzle, but not too thin). Drizzle the frosting over the cooled danish ring.
- Slice and serve.
