Step 1Get all your ingrediants together. And greese whatever pan you want to use. I used a pizza pan since its flat and a circle.
Prep - you need to soak your raisens for 15 mins. And a little tip is don't let your cresent roll dough lay out before hand. I had a hard time laying out the pieces.
-
Step 2Blend together the powdered/ brown sugar, cream cheese, cinnamon, raisens, and pecan halves.
You want them well blended.
-
Step 3I borrowed this from the site I used for a recipe.
Take the triangles of cresent dough and place them point facing the center. Then overlap the pieces onto each other till they look like the picture.
I had issues with this part. It doesn't work very well so when you put the filling on in a circle just fold the edges on the inside towards the out, then like wise for the outside, till you have a circle shaped pastry.

Step 4This is what you want it to look like.
-
Step 5Next bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 20 mins or till golden brown.
-
Step 6Next you make a simple icing using milk, powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Drizzle it onto the pastry so that its covered.
I used purple, green, and gold sprinkles and you want to use the colors to make wide stripes. I piled pecans in the middle since the icing made a little puddle there.
I will totally try it out!
