This Blueberry Spice Cream Cheese Ring is the perfect addition to a holiday brunch. A simple and sweet filling is wrapped up in crescent dough and topped with chopped pecans and icing for a delicious morning pastry the whole family can enjoy!

Ingredients  

  • 1 - 8 oz. Pillsbury Crescent Dough
  • 8 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans divided
  • 1/2 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 2 tbsp coarse sugar
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk or water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray baking sheet with cooking spray and roll out Pillsbury Crescent Dough.
  • In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat cream cheese, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla until light and smooth. Spread evenly over the rolled out dough, leave a 1 in. boarder around the edges.
  • Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the pecans and the blueberries, roll up starting with the long edge and pinching together the ends when you're done.
  • Cut the rolled up dough lengthwise and twist it together and shape into a circle by pinching the ends together. You can bake it right on the pan, or transfer to an 8 in. round baking dish or pie pan to help it keep it's form and make for easy serving.
  • Brush the bread with the beaten egg, then sprinkle with remaining nuts and coarse sugar.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until top is golden brown.
  • Once it's done baking, stir together confectioners' sugar and milk or water in a small bowl and then drizzle the icing over the freshly baked pastry.
  • Serve warm.
