I love pastries, and I love crescent rings, so a recipe like this one is a real winner for me. I’ve been making this one for years now, and it’s always a big hit no matter where I serve it.

It’s the perfect dessert for any occasion, and it’s so easy to make, there’s really no reason NOT to make it!

Strawberry Pastry

This delicious crescent ring starts with refrigerated crescent dough that I lay out in a ring. Then, I fill it with a homemade strawberry compote along with a sweet, cream cheese filling. After that, I wrap it up, baked it until golden, and finish it off with a simple vanilla glaze. When it’s all said and done, I have a delicious crescent ring loaded with strawberry pastry flavor that makes a great breakfast, dessert, appetizer, or afternoon snack.

How to Make Strawberry Pastry

This recipe is super easy to make, and you’ll be in and out of the kitchen in no time.

Step 1: Make the Strawberry Filling

Add the strawberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over low-medium heat until it begins to simmer or until the strawberries are soft. Then add a slurry of 1 tablespoon of water and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Continue cooking until the mixture has thickened, then set it aside to cool.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Filling

Beat the cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl until fluffy. Then, add the sugar, egg yolk, vanilla, and lemon juice and beat again for another 2 minutes.

Step 3: Make the Crescent Ring

Unroll the crescent rolls and separate them into pre-cut triangles. Then, lay them out on an ungreased baking sheet with the wider ends of the triangles facing inward and overlapping one another to make a ring with a 5-inch center.

Step 4: Fill and Wrap

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the wide, inner part of the ring. Then, spoon the strawberry filling on top of the cream cheese mixture. Fold the triangles over the filling and tuck the point under the inside ring to secure it.

Step 5: Bake

Bake the crescent ring for 20 minutes at 375 until golden brown. Then, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes.

Step 6: Make the Glaze

Stir the powdered sugar and milk together in a small bowl. Then, drizzle it over the slightly cooled crescent ring. Let the ring cool, then slice and enjoy!

Recipe Tips

  • Be sure the wider ends of your crescent triangles overlap so the filling stays in place.
  • When folding the crescent triangle over the filling, don’t tuck it too tightly. Fold it over until it lays on top of the filling, but don’t press it down.
  • Be sure to let your pastry ring cool a little before drizzling the glaze onto it.
  • Fully soften your cream cheese for the best texture.

Variations

  • You can make any fruit filling you like for this recipe, just switch out the strawberries for blueberries, blackberries, or your favorite type of fruit.
  • You can use pie filling in place of homemade fruit filling.
  • Sprinkle the top of your crescent ring with sanding sugar for a fun look.
