Making The Pastry Ring

  • Unroll crescent rolls and separate into the precut triangles.
  • Place triangles on an ungreased baking sheet, or a round pizza tin, so that the wider end of the crescent is in the center forming the circle with about a five inch opening in the center. The smaller tip of the crescent is on the outside. *When forming the circle, the wider ends of the crescents will overlap each other. 
  • Spread cream cheese mixture over the wide part of the crescents.
  • Spoon cherry filling on top of the cream cheese mixture.
  • Fold the small tip of the crescent over and tuck under the wider part to secure forming the ring.
  • Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and let cool.

For The Glaze Drizzle

  • In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and milk together until combined.
  • Drizzle over pastry ring. Cut and enjoy!
