Ingredients
1
can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count) or 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Dough Sheet
2
oz (from 8-oz package) cream cheese, softened
1/4
cup powdered sugar
1/8
teaspoon almond extract
1/4
cup canned cherry pie filling (from 21-oz can)
1/4
cup powdered sugar
1
to 1 1/2 teaspoons milk
Preparation
Heat oven to 375°F. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. Remove dough from can; do not unroll. Using serrated knife, cut dough roll into 11 rounds.
Using photo as a guide, arrange dough into shape of tree on cookie sheet, spacing slightly apart, and ending with one round for the base. Gently press middle of each round to create a well for topping.
In small bowl, mix cream cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar and the almond extract with spoon until mixed well. Spoon 1 rounded teaspoon cream cheese mixture on center of each dough round, spreading slightly. Top each with 1 cherry. Bake 16 to 19 minutes or until golden brown and dough is baked through.
In small bowl, mix 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of the milk, adding more as necessary for desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle topping on top of crescent tree, and serve warm.
