Instructions

Heat the oven to 375℉ and prepare a baking sheet by covering it with parchment paper.

Combine together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a small bowl.

Place the crescent sheet onto your baking sheet and divide it into 8 even squares. Join the seams together.

Place a spoonful of cream cheese mixture in the middle of every crescent square.

Tuck in the edges of the crescent-shaped squares and gently press them together at the center.

Place 2 cherries and a small amount of cherry gel onto the center of each cheesecake filling.

Bake until the crescents turn golden, which should take around 10-12 minutes.

Take out of the oven and let it cool down a bit before serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Room Temperature Cream Cheese 🧈
Let cream cheese sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling that spreads easily onto the crescent rolls.
Prevent Soggy Bottoms 🛡️
Bake the crescent roll cups for 3-4 minutes before adding the cheesecake filling to create a light barrier that prevents the dough from absorbing excess moisture from the filling.
Cherry Filling Drain Trick 🍒
Strain your cherry pie filling through a fine-mesh sieve for 2-3 minutes before topping to remove excess liquid, preventing the bites from becoming watery or sliding off.
Vanilla Extract Timing ⏱️
Add vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture just before filling to preserve its delicate flavor notes, which can diminish if exposed to heat for too long.
Proper Cooling Prevents Collapse 🧊
Allow the bites to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 30 minutes, which sets the filling structure and prevents the delicate crescent roll cups from collapsing.
