Easy Crescent Cherry Cream Cheese Cobbler
This Crescent Cherry Cream Cheese Cobbler is easy to make and tastes like a luscious cheesecake in a cobbler. Your family and friends will be raving about this dish.
I haven’t been this impressed with a dessert since I first tried Butterfinger Cake nearly a decade ago. One thing that really surprised me is how the crescent rolls baked into the perfect crust. Usually when I make things with crescent rolls you can always kinda tell they were crescent rolls, but I would have never known in this. I ate waaaay too much and was grateful that it was only an 8×8 because I could happily eat the entire thing.

Next time I’m going to make it with Swerve, too!
Recipe Ingredients:

Helpful Kitchen Tools
Spray an 8×8 pan with cooking spray.
Take half of your crescent roll dough (four crescent rolls) and spread it out in the bottom of your pan a bit, pressing to seal.
make sure your cream cheese is good and soft and place it in a mixing bowl along with your sugar.
Mix that up until its good and creamy and then add in vanilla.
Mix again.
Spread all of this over your crescent roll dough.
Lick the spatula.
(yes, I’m making that part of the instructions)
Pour your pie filling over the top.
I like to get this premium kind sometimes because the cherries are so dark and pretty in it.
Spread that around over the top.
Top with the rest of your crescent roll dough.
Sprinkle your additional sugar over the top.
Melt your butter and pour that evenly over the top.
Like so.
Bake at 350 for thirty to forty five minutes.
Oh my goodness gracious.
You see that?
You know how you look at something and think “I wonder if that tastes as good as it looks?”.
Well no, it doesn’t. It tastes even BETTER! Especially with a little a la mode happening on the side.
Ingredients
- 1- 8 count can crescent rolls
- 1-21 ounce can pie filling of your choice I used cherry
- 1/2 Cup granulated sugar for filling
- 1/4 cup additional granulated sugar for top
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 12 ounces cream cheese softened (one and a half blocks if your blocks are 8 oz each)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Line the bottom of a greased 8x8 pan with four of the crescent rolls, spreading out to cover the bottom entirely. In large mixing bowl, place cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar.

I tried the recipe this weekend and would highly recommend cooking the bottom layer of crescent roll dough FIRST before adding the rest of the ingredients – I cooked my entire pie (without first cooking the bottom) for 45 minutes and the bottom layer was still completely uncooked and doughy. Perhaps cooking the bottom crust for 5-10 minutes first would alleviate that issue? I’m not criticizing – truly – just suggesting a “tweak.” :o)
You’re fine Mindy, you didn’t sound like you were criticizing at all, just being kind in offering a tip 🙂
I have found too, that a metal pan does better for this one than a glass or pottery, but I may be imagining it! Lol
Love your idea!
Gratefully

Hey, Mindy Jeffers! I LOVE this recipe because it’s so simple and because I like simple!
I made the pie and I didn’t cook my crush first and it was excellent
I made this recipe last night and it was WONDERFUL! I took it over to a friend’s house for dessert and everyone loved it! Definitely will be added to my recipe collection!
Very good! I don’t like it more or less then the apple version. The tart cherries give it a different taste then the cinnamon and sugar apples. Both are awesome! Thanks!
I made this for my cousin’s 30th tailgate dinner. After years of begging me to make him a cherry cobbler. (His granma used to make them for him. THE PRESSURE!!!)I was standing in the dairy section of the grocery store and thought. I don’t want a plain cobbler maybe take it up the next level with some cream cheese. BUT HOW?!?!?!? I came home and goggled your recipe up!!! GOODNESS!! This is one of those recipes so sinfully good you are scared to make it ever!!! I could have eaten the whole thing!!! I added another can of cherries, the rest of the cream cheese wit a tad more sugar and more cresent rolls. IT WAS HUGE!!! I got a marraige proposal JUST LIKE BILL via text the next day!!! It appears as if it only works on women. LOL!!! I was hoping for a husband outta this. Maybe next Sunday since they think I’m suppossed to make this every week…LOL!!! Gonna swap cherries for PEACHES THIS TIME!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
Oh my goodness, this is absolutely delicious. The pic looked so good and I loved the the ingredients, so I made it once for me and it tasted so good that I made it for the family and they just loved it. I will certainly make this dish many more times.
This is sooooo easy and delicious. Made the first one camping in our motorhome, it was awsome, now hubby wants it all the time. Love this site, thanks.
I can’t wait to try this recipe, I love using the can crescent rolls in recipes. My kids love them as a pizza crust.
