Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 (8-ounce) tubes refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 (21-ounce) can raspberry pie filling
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Make Cheesecake Filling: Add 8 ounces cream cheese, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 large egg, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest to a large bowl. Beat with a hand mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy.
- Arrange Crescent Rolls: Arrange 2 (8-ounce) tubes refrigerated crescent rolls on the sheet pan so the thick ends of the triangles of dough overlap, curving them so there is a large oval in the center of all the joined triangles and the points fan out like a sunburst.
- Add Fillings: Spread the cream cheese mixture over the thickest part of the crescent rolls, then spoon 1 (21-ounce) can raspberry pie filling evenly over the top.
- Fold and Shape: Fold the points of the triangles over the top of the fillings and tuck them under the edge of the dough on the other side.
- Bake: Bake for 23-26 minutes, until the dough is golden brown.
- Prepare Glaze: Let the pastry cool for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the glaze by whisking together ⅔ cup powdered sugar and 1-2 tablespoons milk until it is a slightly runny consistency.
- Glaze and Serve: Once slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top of the pastry. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Ensure your cream cheese and egg are at room temperature for a smooth filling.
- You can use other pie fillings, such as strawberry, blueberry, or cherry.
- For a richer glaze, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special treat.
