    1. Cream Cheese Filling:

      • In a medium bowl, using a mixer or a hand whisk, beat the softened cream cheese and 1/4 cup of powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.

    2. Adding the Egg and Flavoring:

      • Beat in the egg and your choice of vanilla or almond extract until everything is well combined.

    3. Assembling the Coffee Cake:

      • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll layer in the baking dish.

  1. Cherry Delight:

    • Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese mixture, distributing it evenly across the entire surface.

  2. Crescent Roll Topping:

    • Unroll the second package of crescent rolls and carefully lay it over the cherry pie filling. Pinch the seams together to create a solid top layer.

  3. Baking Time:

    • Place the assembled coffee cake in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The coffee cake is done when the top is golden brown and the filling is set.

  4. Cooling Down:

    • After removing the coffee cake from the oven, let it cool completely in the baking pan on a wire rack. This allows the filling to firm up and prevents it from becoming messy when cutting.

  5. Making the Glaze:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 2-3 teaspoons of milk until you get a smooth glaze with a drizzling consistency. If needed, add more milk a teaspoon at a time to achieve your desired glaze thickness.
  1. Glaze and Enjoy!
  • Once the coffee cake is cool, drizzle the glaze generously over the top.
  1. Serving:
  • Cut the coffee cake into squares and serve. Enjoy this delicious treat for breakfast, brunch, or a delightful afternoon snack!
