Candy Cane Crescent Roll Dessert

 

What You'll Need

 

• 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 can fruit pie filling (cherry or strawberry for classic red)

 

How to Make It

 

1. Prepare the Dough:

• Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate each section.
• On a baking sheet, form a rectangular base by placing each section with the point side facing outward and overlapping the wider ends.
• Refer to the video for a visual guide on shaping.

 

2. Add the Filling:

• Spread softened cream cheese along the wider edge of the dough, keeping it to about a two inch space.
• Spoon the fruit filling down the center of the cream cheese.

 

3. Shape the Candy Cane:

• Fold the point side of each section over the wider edge.
• Tuck the very tip underneath the dough to secure.
• Refer to the video for clarity if needed.

 

4. Bake:

• Bake according to crescent roll package directions until golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and gently curve the pastry into a candy cane shape.
• Brush with melted butter.
• Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
• ENJOY!

 

Note: Any fruit pie filling or cream cheese flavor can be used. You can also leave it straight instead of shaping it into a candy cane for other seasons.
