Steps:
- 1. Start by letting the cream cheese sit out to get to room temperature, so it is easier to cream together with the sugar.(about 30 min.)
- 2. While you are waiting, start assembly the crescent rolls on a flat baking pan (round if you have one, but not necessary). This is the most difficult part for most people. Remove crescent rolls from package and take the widest end and place toward the center of the pan, overlapping next crescent roll continuing in a circular pattern until all pieces are assembled. (It should look like a "Sun")
- 3. Once your ring is assembled, your cream cheese can now be creamed together with the sugar and vanilla.
- 4. Now, put all of cream cheese mixture all over the ring, spreading evenly.
- 5. Add the cherry pie filling on top of the cream cheese mixture.
- 6. Now, take the tips of the crescent rolls and pull across filling mixture, criss-crossing as you go all the way around. Now you are ready to bake.
- 7. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- 8. Serve fresh out of the oven! Enjoy!
Tips:
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help to ensure a smooth and creamy filling.
- If you don't have a large round baking dish, you can use two smaller round dishes instead. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
- You can use any type of cherries for this recipe. Fresh, frozen, or canned cherries will all work well.
- If you don't have any lemon juice on hand, you can use vinegar instead.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
Conclusion:
This cherry cheese tea ring is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a hit with guests. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to serve, give this cherry cheese tea ring a try. You won't be disappointed!
