Peach Pastry Ring Tips and Variations

This is an easy recipe, but I do have a few tips to help you make it as easy as possible. I also have some variations that you can try as well.

Tips

• When placing the crescent dough triangles, be sure the wider, interior sides overlap each other by about ⅓ to ensure that the triangles fold over and cover most of the peach and cream cheese filling.
• Distribute your fillings very evenly to avoid too much in any one area that could ooze out while baking.
• Always let the pastry ring cool before drizzling on the glaze. Otherwise, the glaze will just slide right off of the pastry ring.

Variations

• Use other fruits like apples or pears.
• Try using strawberries or one of your favorite berries. Any of them work!
• For extra sweetness, use peach pie filling in place of fresh peaches.

How to Make Peach Pastry with Cream Cheese

There are a few steps to this recipe, but don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s difficult to make. It’s actually a very easy recipe when you break it down. Even beginning cook can make it!

Step 1: Make the Peach Mixture

Stir peaches, sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Mixture

Beat the cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl until fluffy – about 2 to 3 minutes. Then, add the sugar, egg yok, vanilla, and lemon juice and beat for another 2 minutes.

Step 3: Place the Crescent Dough

Unroll the crescent rolls and separate them into pre-cut triangles. Then, place the triangles in a circle with the wider ends on the inside on an ungreased baking sheet. The center of the ring should be about 5-inches in diameter and the wider ends of the triangles should be overlapping.

Step 4: Add the Filling

Spread the cream cheese mixture on the wider part of the crescent ring where all the triangles overlap. Then, add the peaches on top of the cream cheese mixture.

Step 5: Fold

Fold the triangles over the filling, tucking the pointy ends under the wide ends. Can brush with an egg wash, if desired.

Step 6: Bake

Bake the crescent ring for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Then, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

Step 7: Make the Glaze

Mix the powdered sugar and milk together in a one-cup measuring cup. Adjust the thickness according to your preference by adding more powdered sugar to make it thicker or more milk to make it thinner.

Step 8: Add the Glaze

When the crescent ring has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the entire thing. Cut into your desired portions, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
