Instructions
1-First, unroll the two packages of refrigerated crescent rolls (16 oz total) and arrange them on a prepared baking sheet to form a large ring, overlapping the edges slightly for a seamless look. In a mixing bowl, blend together 8 oz softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon almond extract until smooth and creamy this will be your delicious filling base.
2-Next, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the center of the dough ring, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges. Then, spoon 21 oz of raspberry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, distributing it as evenly as possible for that perfect fruity burst in every slice.
3-Fold the tips of the crescent dough over the filling, tucking them under to seal and create a beautiful ring shape.
4-Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the dough turns golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
5-After baking, let the ring cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet.
6-Once cooled, whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of milk or heavy cream to make a simple glaze, then drizzle it over the ring and sprinkle with 1 cup of finely chopped toasted walnuts. Serve it warm, perhaps with vanilla ice cream, and enjoy the compliments from your family or guests.
