These sweet squares are easy to fix, thanks to the refrigerated crescent roll dough that serves as the crust! Ingredients:
2 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls |
3 tablespoons sugar, divided |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1/3 cup almond paste |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
2 cups halved fresh strawberries |
1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained |
1 cup fresh raspberries |
1 cup halved green grapes |
2 kiwifruit, peeled, quartered and sliced |
1/2 cup apricot preserves, warmed |
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted |
Directions:
1. Unroll crescent dough and separate into eight rectangles. Place in an ungreased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Press onto bottom and up sides; seal seams and perforations. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. 2. Bake at 375° for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown. Cool. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, almond paste, extract and remaining sugar until smooth. Spread over crust. Top with fruit. Brush with preserves; sprinkle with almonds. Yield: 16 servings. |
