– 1/2 cup powdered sugar creates a sweet drizzle
– 2 to 3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream thins the glaze for drizzling
– 2 cups frozen raspberries base for homemade sauce
– 3/4 cup sugar sweetens the sauce
– 1 teaspoon lemon juice adds brightness to the sauce
– 1/4 cup water helps cook down the ingredients

Instructions
1-Preheat your oven: First, preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2-Prepare the dough: Next, unroll the two packages of refrigerated crescent rolls and arrange them in a circular shape on the sheet, overlapping slightly to form a ring.
3-Make the cream cheese mixture: In a bowl, beat the 8 oz package of cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon almond extract until smooth, then spread this mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
4-Layer the raspberry filling: Top the cream cheese mixture with the 21 oz can of raspberry pie filling or jam for that burst of flavor.
5-Fold the dough: Carefully fold the tips of the dough over the filling to enclose it, creating a sealed ring shape that holds everything in place.
6-Bake to perfection: Place in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown, then let it cool for 10 minutes before adding the glaze.
7-Make and add the glaze: After baking, whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 2 to 3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream to make a glaze, drizzle it over the ring, and sprinkle with 1 cup finely chopped toasted walnuts.
