Blogiversary
I hit "publish" on my very first blog post back in 2008.The blogging world was so different back in 2008 as blogs were more of an online diary than the wonderful sources of information they are today.
Easy Family Recipes and Traditions
After a few months of posting traditional blog posts, I started sharing recipes and what I was preparing for dinner every night for my family.
In fact, this recipe for Crescent Rolls Fruit Tart was one of the first dessert recipes I posted. It was also very popular back then...even with the horrible tiny photos.

Main Ingredients Needed
Make sure you print out the recipe below and save it for later!
- Sugar
- Cream cheese softened; 2 packages
- Container Cool Whip softened
- Crescent rolls - you can also use the crescent roll sheet dough.
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Assorted fruit; you can use canned fruit or fresh. I don't recommend using frozen fruit though as it would be too soggy for the top of the cream cheese layer.
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1 | Prepare the Crust
- Unroll the crescent rolls.
- Do not separate.
- Lay them flat on a baking tray that's been lined with parchment paper.
- Press the seams together to create one large sheet of crescent rolls.
Step 2 | Baking Instructions
- Bake in a 350°F degree preheated oven for about 12 to 15 minutes or until it is lightly browned.
- Allow to cool completely before putting the tart together.
Step 3 | Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting Layer
- Using a hand mixer, beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar.
- Once combined, fold in the whipped topping using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
- Then spread the cream cheese frosting layer on top of the baked and cooled crescent rolls.
Step 4 | Add the Fruit
- Arrange the fruit in a decorative pattern.
- You can put the fruit on top a few hours before you plan on serving the tart. But I would wait until right before serving to add sliced banana.
A lot of the time I put the fruit on top of the tart right after dinner and while my family and friends are hanging around the kitchen. They even like helping.
