Cherry Cream Cheese Candy Cane Crescent Recipe 45

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F On a cookie sheet, arrange crescent roll triangles pointing inward into the shape of a candy cane with edges overlapping (see photos above). Lightly press triangles together to seal. I used exactly 1½ packages of crescent rolls to make the candy cane shape. In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese and sugar, add egg; beat until smooth. Using a teaspoon, spoon cream cheese filling onto the larger part of each triangle; leaving around ½ on inch from the edges. You will have extra cheese left. Add teaspoons of cherry filling over the top of the cream cheese. Fold tops of triangles towards the base end of each triangle and press lightly to seal. Using the extra croissant roll dough, cut the triangle ends off of 2 rolls to fill in extra spaces at the top of the candy cane as necessary. Bake for around 15 minutes or until top of pastry is golden brown. Allow cooling slightly before adding glaze. Prepare Glaze: Beat together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. May add an additional ½ tablespoon of milk if too thick. Using a teaspoon, drizzle glaze over crescent tops of candy cane

Separate dough into 16 triangles; place on lightly greased baking sheets., Spread 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture near edge of short side of each triangle. Top with 1 tablespoon pie filling.

• I make mine with peppermint flavoring or Butter flavoring. Very rich and delicious.
• Servings vary depending on how big or small you make the mints.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Mix cream cheese, granulated sugar, flour, egg and 1 tsp. almond extract in medium bowl until blended. Add 1/4 cup nuts; mix well.
• Cover baking sheet with parchment. Unroll crescent dough into 16 triangles. Place 1 triangle sideways at bottom of prepared baking sheet. Place second triangle above first triangle, overlapping long edges by 1/2 inch. Repeat with remaining dough triangles to form candy cane, reversing points of triangles as necessary to make curved candy cane shape at top as shown in photo.
• Spread cream cheese mixture onto center of dough to within 1/2 inch of edges; top with pie filling. Starting at bottom of candy cane, fold points of dough triangles over filling, pressing points into dough on opposite side to seal.
• Bake 20 to 25 min. or until golden brown. Cool completely.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a bowl, combine the butter, sour cream, eggs, sugar and salt. Add yeast mixture and flour; beat until smooth (do not knead). Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and refrigerate overnight., For filling, in a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk and vanilla until blended. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divided in half. Roll out each portion into a 16-in. x 10-in. rectangle on a greased baking sheet. Spread filling down center of each rectangle. On each long side, cut 1-1/2-in.-wide strips about 3 in. into center. Starting at one end, fold alternating strips at an angle across filling. Pinch ends to seal. Curve one end, forming a candy cane. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour., Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Stir jam, then spoon over top of leaves, creating candy cane stripes. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Unroll each of the crescent rolls and set two sections aside to make the twist strips. Lay out the crescent roll sections in the shape of a candy cane. Use a pizza cutter or a knife to help shape it if needed. In a medium mixing bowl, combine together the cream cheese, powdered sugar and pure vanilla extract, mix well. Spread the cream cheese mixture on top of the crescent roll in the candy cane shape. Spoon the pie filling on top but don't let it get too close to the edges. Cut the pieces you set aside earlier into strips and twist each one then place them on top of your filling to create the stripes of the candy cane, slightly pinch the sides down so each twisted strip stays put. Bake for 12 to 13 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown. Mix together the ingredients for the glaze and drizzle over the warm candy cane. ENJOY!
