Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 8 ounces cream cheese softened
• 1 large egg
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 2 8-ounce tubes refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1 21-ounce can raspberry pie filling
• ⅔ cup powdered sugar for glaze
• 1-2 tablespoons milk for glaze

Method

 

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, egg, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Using a hand mixer on medium-high speed, blend until the mixture is velvety smooth.
3. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared sheet. Starting at the thick end of each triangle, arrange them in a circular pattern so that their wide sides overlap, forming a generous ring with an open center.
4. Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the overlapping area. Then, spoon the raspberry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, ensuring every bite is bursting with flavor.
5. Gently fold each triangle’s tip over the filling and tuck it underneath the dough on the opposite side. This modified folding method ensures a more secure seal and even baking.
6. Bake the pastry ring for 23-26 minutes or until the dough turns a beautiful golden brown.
7. Allow the pastry to cool for 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to create a silky glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the ring, slice, and serve it warm.

Pastry Perfection: A Nostalgic Twist

I’ve always been enchanted by pastries that combine the creaminess of cheesecake with fruity bursts of flavor. This pastry ring draws inspiration from childhood favorites and elevates them with a modern twist—right in your own kitchen!

Ingredients Needed

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 large egg
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 2 (8-ounce) tubes refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1 (21-ounce) can raspberry pie filling
• ⅔ cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 1–2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)

How to Create Your Pastry Ring

1. Preheat and Prep:

   Heat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix the Luscious Filling:

   In a large bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, egg, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until the mixture is silky-smooth.

3. Arrange the Dough:

   Lay out the crescent roll triangles on your baking sheet with the thick ends overlapping. Curve them around to form a large, inviting ring with an open center.

4. Layer the Delights:

   Spread the cream cheese blend generously over the overlapping portion, then evenly dollop the raspberry filling atop.

5. Fold and Tuck:

   Gently fold each triangle’s tip over the filling and tuck it securely beneath the adjacent dough edge. This subtle modification helps the dough bake uniformly.

6. Bake to Golden Perfection:

   Bake for 23-26 minutes until the pastry achieves a delightful golden hue. Check that the bottom is fully cooked; if not, loosely cover with foil to prevent burning while finishing.

7. Glaze and Enjoy:

   Allow the pastry ring to cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes. In the meantime, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until you get a smooth, slightly runny glaze. Drizzle over the ring, slice, and serve warm.
