Ingredients
- 1 can of refrigerated crescent rolls (8 count)
- 1 can of cherry pie filling
- ¼ cup of powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon of milk
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking once you’ve prepared the rolls.
2. Prepare the Crescent Rolls:
- Unroll the crescent rolls and separate them into 8 individual triangles. This will be the base for your cherry-filled treats.
3. Add the Cherry Filling:
- Spoon a heaping tablespoon of cherry pie filling onto the wide end of each triangle. Make sure the filling is centered to prevent it from spilling out during baking.
4. Roll the Crescents:
- Starting from the wide end, gently roll each triangle towards the pointed tip, enclosing the cherry filling inside. Place the rolled crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
5. Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and flaky.
6. Make the Glaze:
- While the crescent rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
7. Glaze the Rolls:
- Once the crescent rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the prepared glaze over the warm rolls for an extra touch of sweetness.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve these Cherry Filled Crescent Rolls warm for the best taste. They’re perfect on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
Notes
Serving Tips:
- Serve Warm: For the best flavor and texture, serve the crescent rolls warm, straight from the oven. The flaky pastry and gooey cherry filling are at their most delicious when freshly baked.
- Pairing: These rolls pair wonderfully with a hot cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of cold milk. For a more decadent dessert, serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Garnish: For an extra touch, you can sprinkle the rolls with additional powdered sugar or add a few fresh cherries on the side to enhance the presentation.
Storage Tips:
- Room Temperature: Store leftover crescent rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving to refresh their texture.
- Refrigeration: If you plan to keep the rolls for longer, refrigerate them. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Warm them slightly before serving for the best taste.
- Freezing: To store the rolls for an extended period, freeze them. Place the rolls on a baking sheet to freeze initially, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw the rolls at room temperature or reheat them directly in the oven.
- Reheating: To reheat, place the rolls in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 5 minutes, or until they are warmed through. This will help retain their flaky texture and keep the cherry filling gooey.
These serving and storage tips will help you enjoy your Cherry Filled Crescent Rolls at their freshest and most delicious, whether you’re indulging right away or saving some for later!
