“My mom knew this recipe with her eyes closed! Passed down from her mother and still going strong at every family gathering.”

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.
Adding the Egg and Flavoring:

Beat in the egg and your choice of vanilla or almond extract until everything is well combined.
Assembling the Coffee Cake:

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll layer in the baking dish.
Cherry Delight:

Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese mixture, distributing it evenly across the entire surface.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Glaze and Enjoy!
Once the coffee cake is cool, drizzle the glaze generously over the top.
Serving:
Cut the coffee cake into squares and serve. Enjoy this delicious treat for breakfast, brunch, or a delightful afternoon snack!
