Ingredients
2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent rolls
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Layer the Crescent Dough: Unroll one can of crescent rolls and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, sealing any seams.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Bars: Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the crescent dough. Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and place it on top, sealing any seams.
- Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping: Pour the melted butter over the top. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ¼ cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, then sprinkle it over the buttered dough.
- Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool for about 20 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm or chilled.
Notes
For best results, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth filling.
You can add chocolate chips or fruit to the filling for variation.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
