Cherry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake – A can of pie filling and a few tubes of crescent rolls help me assemble this sweet treat. It’s the perfect addition to hot cups of coffee and good conversation.
The origin of the croissant can actually be traced back to 13th century Austria, where it was called the kipferl, the German word for crescent. However it was an Austrian artillery officer August Zang who founded a Viennese bakery at 92, rue du richelieu in Paris.

Ingredients
- 2 pkg crescent dinner rolls
- 1 pkg cream cheese 8 oz
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 21 oz can cherry pie filling
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 or 3 tsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Unroll the crescent dough. Separate into 16 triangles, and set 4 aside for decoration.
- On a baking sheet, arrange the 12 triangles into a circle so that the longer points are in the center but do not meet.
- Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a 14-inch circle, pressing the seams together and leaving a 3-inch hole in the center.
- For the filling, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, egg and vanilla in a medium bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Spread filling over dough. Leave about 1/2 inch uncovered at both edges of the dough.
- Use a pizza cutter to cut those 4 triangles you set aside earlier into thirds. Start at the wider end, as it’s easier to judge where your triangle should be cut. Arrange the strips evenly over the filling and press the ends to seal at the center and outer edges.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it’s golden brown.
- Prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar and milk together. Then drizzle the glaze over the top!
