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.

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.

This looks delicious. Can’t wait to try it. I would right now but I am at the dentist. Lol
LOL, Don’t tell your dentist you are making this :). Thank you so much for the rating!
I’m SO happy to see this recipe, Christy. I used to bring this to school for the staff when we were at Lincoln Elementary School. They all loved it as much as my family does. I don’t remember maki g it since the school closed. You can be sure I will remedy that within the week. Reminders are good, especially when we are getting older, so keep repeating the older recipes alongside the new ones. BTW, speaking of getting older – Steve and I are celebrating our 52nd wedding anniversary today.
Can I warm this dish back up after refrigerating overnight?
sure can. It’s best when it’s first made but leftovers can be reheated or served cold.

I hope you get the chance to make it soon Ruth!!
Made this today. It was so easy, which is great for me. lol It is so delicious. Cream cheese and cherries, what a duo. Love your recipes. Thanks for sharing.
I’m from North Carolina but live in New Zealand now. I would love to make this, and I even have the can of cherry pie filling, purchased from the local American store for $8! But….in New Zealand we do not have crescent roll dough or any other type of biscuit/scone packaged dough. Just wondering what I might use instead…..hmmm Christy I love your recipes!
Hmmm, let me think on this for a minute Suzy. I am not sure what would be available to you that you could use. What about Puff Pastry? As a last resort you could make crescent dough, but I will be trying to think of something that might be available to you that would be easy and make a great replacement.
I got this recipe off your site way back when and I have made it dozens of times. My husband makes it for all his friends and everyone wants the recipe! So far no complaints about it! Keep up the good things on here!
Thank you Dorothy, I am so glad it has been such a hit!!!
