How to Make Berry Crescent Ring
This is a quick overview of the steps needed to make this recipe. You can find the full instructions in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Then, arrange them on a round pizza pan with the wide side on the inside, forming a ring with a 4-inch opening in the center.
- Beat the cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Then, stir in 1/4 tsp vanilla extract. Spoon the pie filling over the solid portion of the crescent ring. Then, top it with the cream cheese.
- Fold the triangles over the filling, tucking the points under the inside of the ring. Bake at 350°F until golden brown. Then cool for about 20 minutes.
- Mix the drizzle ingredients in a small bowl and drizzle over the crescent ring. Enjoy!
Expert Tips
- The wide ends of your crescent triangles should overlap, creating a solid surface.
- Be sure your fillings are entirely on the solid portion of the ring to ensure they don’t ooze out while baking.
- Dab a touch of water onto the small tip of the crescent triangles to ensure they remain in place when folded under the inner ring.
- It’s important to cool your ring for at least 20 minutes. It needs to be cool so the drizzle sticks and forms a pretty topping rather than sliding off the ring.
Berry Crescent Ring FAQ
Do you have questions about this recipe? Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions.
We used raspberry pie filling for this crescent ring, but any fruity pie filling will work well.
If you don’t overlap the wide ends of your triangles enough to create a solid surface of sufficient size, it won’t be able to fully accommodate the filling, which will ooze out of the spaces as it bakes.
No, you shouldn’t add egg wash to crescent dough. Crescent dough rises due to steam puffing up the dough. An egg wash can inhibit this action, resulting in a flat dough.

Berry Crescent Ring
Equipment
- large baking sheet
- medium bowl
- small bowl
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 16 ounces crescent roll dough
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract divided
- 21 ounces raspberry pie filling
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the triangles. On a large baking sheet or round pizza pan, lay out the crescent rolls in a circle with the points of each crescent roll triangle pointing outward. The wide ends of the triangles should be overlapping and forming 4-inch wide circle in the center.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Scoop the raspberry pie filling onto the circle of the crescent roll ring. Dollop the cream cheese mixture on top of the pie filling.
- Bring the points of the triangles of the dough up over the filling and tuck under the inside of the circle to form a large crescent ring. The filling will still be visible between the crescent rolls.
- Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Cool for 20 minutes on the baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy whipping cream, and the remaining ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, adding just 1 tablespoon of cream at a time until the frosting reaches your desired consistency (just thin enough to drizzle). Drizzle the frosting over the cooled crescent ring.
Notes
- Other pie fillings can be used in place of the raspberry, such as apple, cherry, peach, etc.
- I used only about 2/3 of the can of pie filling. You can use the whole can or less, depending on your preference.
- The leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for up to five days.
