Cherry Cream Cheese Dessert

I am taking no credit for this dessert.  I found it on a blog of a woman who used to be Amish - I first made the recipe the wrong way.  Follow the instructions, and I am sure everything will turn out delicious.  My version was good too, but the actual recipe would be very much better.

Ingredients:

3 cans crescent rolls


1 can cherry pie filling

1- 8 oz pkg softened cream cheese

2/3 cup powdered sugar



Use 1½ cans crescent rolls. Unroll dough and place on a cookie sheet. Press all edges together to form a single crust. Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar and spread over dough. Next dump your can of pie filling on top. I used cherry but I'm sure any fruit filling would be good. Spread to within an inch of the edges of crust. Taking the remaining 1½ cans of crescent rolls separate the dough into triangles and start placing them on top making sure to cover the sides first and then press lightly along the edges to keep your pie filling from running out while baking.

Place remaining dough triangles on top any way you like. A few cracks between triangles only makes it look even better once it's baked.
Bake at 350º for 20-25 minutes until beautifully golden brown. Let cool and make an icing with 1 cup powdered sugar and 1½ Tbsp milk. Drizzle on top. Enjoy!
