Notes

For best results, use quality cherry pie filling with whole cherries. Make sure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. These can be made with other pie fillings like blueberry, apple, or strawberry. Add dark chocolate chips under the fruit filling for extra decadence. Puff pastry can be substituted for crescent rolls for extra flakiness.
