PREPARE THE STRAWBERRY SYRUP

Put the cream cheese filling
Followed by thick strawberry syrup.
Fold the triangle part of the crescent sheet over the cream cheese.
Carefully lift and tuck this part under the sheets.
The finished crescent ring will look like this.

Combine 1 cup powdered sugar + 2 tablespoon water in a bowl, whisk until well blended. Drizzle over the crescent ring.
Generously top with sliced almonds.
The great thing about a crescent ring is that it is easy to cut and can be served in slices! Treat your mom with a sweet treat today.

Notes

Possibilities are unlimited!

This crescent ring tastes great with any fruit. Some other options are -

Fresh cherries, apples, and blueberries. Any of these fruit combinations will work wonders with cream cheese.
To cut short on time, you can use store-bought pie filling cans for this recipe.
Can't find fresh strawberries, no worries try frozen strawberries. This recipe works great with frozen fruit too.

Tips to consider, what could possibly go wrong!

Before you advance with filling the ring, make sure your strawberry syrup is of a thick consistency. If it is on a liquid side then it will mess up the full recipe.
Seal and secure the ends of crescent rolls tightly underneath the ring. This will give a clean finished look.
The final sugar glaze is optional though it tastes amazing. Feel free to simply top these ring with slivered almonds and enjoy as is without the sugar glaze.
