Crescent Cherry Cheesecake Cobbler

Crescent Cherry Cheesecake Cobbler is layers of crescent rolls, cheesecake and cherry pie filling. Any flavor of pie filling works great!

A SIMPLE CHERRY DESSERT RECIPE

The title of the recipe might suggest that this is a crescent-shaped cobbler. Nope. It’s an easy cobbler made with crescent rolls. Oh, how I love little recipes like this one! The whole flavor of the crescent roll is transformed and made into something sweet.

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS COBBLER

  • You can pretty much use any pie filling for this: Strawberry, blueberry, peach, apple or blackberry all work well.
  • Oven times may vary. You want to make sure you crescent roll dough is cooked all the way through. If necessary, cover the top with aluminum foil about halfway through baking so the top doesn’t get too brown while the bottom dough is still baking. Alternatively, you can pre-bake the bottom crescent roll dough for about 8 minutes before adding the topping.
  • Use real butter for this, not margarine. Margarine contains oils and will make the dough soggy instead of crisp.
  • Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature so it will come out smooth and not lumpy.
  • If you can find the crescent roll dough seamless sheets, use those to make this just a bit easier to put together.

    I made a cherry and a raspberry for my family Christmas party, and it was DELICIOUS! Thanks for sharing the recipe with us! xo

    1. I just did that….doubled Everything but the butter and the sugar on top…its fabulous!! Oh and I added
      a 1/4 cup of chocolate chips. Amazing!

  3. 5 stars
    I have to say, as an experienced baker, using a VERY simple recipe, I managed to mess it up quite well! I thought I had pie filling but did not. So, I figured, crushed pineapple (drained) and coconut would taste delicious. Mixed up the cream cheese, put the pineapple and coconut on the pastry, put on the top pastry, whoops forgot the cream cheese on the bottom! So my layers were backwards! Testament to the simplicity of your recipe. It's still delicious! Next time I'll do it right!

    OMG, I have been making this for a couple of years now and it was an adaptation of the crescent cream cheese danish. I am so glad that other people found out how to do this because it is awesome! My significant other asks for it on a weekly basis. I have tried cherry, blueberry, strawberry and apple. The best, we think, so far…apple! The lemon sounds good too, though!

  6. I make something similar to this using blueberry pie filling….but the cherry looks so pretty and festive!

    I love that white baking dish….could you share where you got that!? Or what company makes it!?

    Keep up the good work! 🙂

    Lemon pie filling is marvelous also. Instead of adding sugar before baking, dust with confectioners sugar when cooled.

    I found crescent dough in sheets just recently…I was so happy!!!
    I made your cherry pie bite recipe except I used apple pie filling, my family loves them! Thanks!!!

  9. Hey Brandie,
    You know you are not fair. I haven't worked off Thanksgiving fat and now I have have another delicious recipe of yours to make. Maybe I'll eat this one one the treadmill 🙂 Can't wait to try it!

  10. OOOH!!! Going to make this! Think I will try strawberry pie filling and maybe a tad of lemon in the cream cheese!! Thank you for the recipe…!

        Add a 1/2 cup of fresh or canned pineapple pieces to the cherry pie filling & a dash of nutmeg, it really enhances the cherries.

    1. I made this tonight but used no sugar added filling and stevia sugar blend turned out fantastic and didnt miss all the carbs and sugar

    2. 5 stars
      I made this adding eggs and cinnamon and vanilla and sugar to the cream cheese. I used Strawberry pie filling with cresent roll on top and bottom. It was really good. I baked it for hour ten minutes.

  11. I just made something very similar to this for Thanksgiving breakfast. I just called it a danish instead. It was SO easy and delish!
