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.
Ingredients
- 1- 8 count can crescent rolls
- 1-21 ounce can pie filling of your choice I used cherry

- 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

For the recipe for the Crescent Cream cheese cherry cobbler, do you have to use that much cream cheese? Will it work as well with only 8 ounces??
I have made this several times and it turns out great every time. My family loves it!
So wonderful to hear Deanna! Thank you for sharing that and for the rating 🙂
This was great and I don’t normally like cherry anything
So glad you liked it!
How would this be using Splenda or Stevia to make it sugar free (also would use no sugar added cherry pie filling).
I have used Swerve and it came out great!
We ate some of this for lunch and it tasted pretty good – wish I could have found the pie filling with extra fruit but had a hard time finding cherry at all. My cream cheese mixture came out kind of mushy/runny – doesn’t look at all like your pictures. It cooked the whole 45 minutes so should have been done. Dough on top was good and brown. Any suggestions???
I have a question. Have this in the oven now. Picture directions show adding the 1/4 cup sugar and THEN adding melted butter. The printable recipe (which is what I used) says to pour melted butter over first and then top with sugar. Probably won’t make any difference but wanted to make sure!
My honey loves cherry cobbler so I am going to the store today and get the ingredients to try this! Thanks for sharing!
