Sweet Cream Crescents with Berry Dipping Sauce

Last month my Dad, sister, and I went berry picking at a local farm.  We came home with POUNDS of blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries.  I broke all of the berries down into sauce (the recipe is below), and then froze all of the sauce and put it in resealable containers in our freezer.  I have been trying desperately to go through the sauce in the fear of it turning rotten at some point, so I have been trying to come up with some easy recipes to go through the sauce.  That is how this recipe came to be!  These are very filling and a few go a long way!  If you don't want to make as many as I did, cut all of the filling and crescent ingredients in half! 

Sweet Cream Crescents with Berry Dipping Sauce
Yields 5 servings (3 crescents each)

To Prepare the Filling
1. Blend 2 blocks of softened cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar.

2. Add 1 egg to the mixture and blend well.

To Make the Crescents
1. Unwrap 2 packages of pre-made crescent roll dough, such as Pillsbury or a grocery store brand.

2. The crescents will break down into 8 triangle pieces.  Leave them in this shape!
3. Put a spoon full of the filling in the wide end of the triangle and close it by folding in the extra dough until the crescent is sealed shut.  You might have to pull the dough and pinch it a little to make sure the filling is completely encased in dough!

4. Once the crescents are closed they are more pliable and can be reshaped.  I made mine into triangles for easy dipping!

5. Bake them at 350 degrees until the dough is firm and golden brown on the bottom.  This step only takes approximately 10 minutes!
6. Pull them out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving!

To Prepare the Sauce
1. Mix a pint of berries with 1 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch over medium heat until it becomes the consistency of jelly.
2. When it is done cooking, press it through a mesh colander to remove the skin and seeds.  I opted for blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries...Their tartness was a nice compliment to the sweetness of the crescents!  If you don't want to make your own sauce, you can buy pre-made sauces in your grocery store's baking aisle, or even heat up a little jelly in the flavor of your liking!
