Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

For the Pastry:

  • 2 8-ounce tubes refrigerated crescent rolls

For the Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk adjust for consistency

For the Raspberry Layer:

  • 1 21-ounce can raspberry pie filling

Instructions

Stepwise Method:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Use an electric mixer to beat until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  • Open the tubes of refrigerated crescent rolls and unroll them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Arrange the triangles in a circular shape, overlapping the edges to form a ring.
  • Spoon the cream cheese filling onto the center of the crescent roll ring. Spread it out evenly, leaving some space at the edges.
  • Spoon the raspberry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, distributing it evenly.
  • Starting at one point, fold the triangles of the crescent roll over the filling, tucking the ends underneath to seal the ring.
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • While the ring is baking, mix together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Once baked, remove the ring from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and drizzle the glaze over the warm ring.
