Easy Sopapilla Cheesecake Recipe
Description
This recipe begins by pressing one can of crescent roll dough into a baking dish to form the base crust. A mixture of room-temperature cream cheese, vanilla, egg, cinnamon, and sugar is beaten until light and fluffy and spread evenly over the dough. The second can of crescent dough is layered on top and sealed, creating a sandwich-like dessert. Melted butter is poured over the top, and a cinnamon-sugar mixture is sprinkled to finish.
Baked for about 50 minutes, the crescent dough becomes golden and puffed, while the cream cheese filling sets into a smooth cheesecake layer. Once cooled, the dessert is cut into 12 pieces. The texture contrasts flaky crust with creamy filling and a sweet, spiced topping.
This dessert offers a straightforward method for combining pastry and cheesecake elements without a water bath or complicated layering. It’s well suited to potlucks, family desserts, or occasions requiring easy make-ahead treats.
Ingredients
- 2 (8 ounce each) can crescent rolls divided, refrigerated
- 4 (8 ounce each) box cream cheese at room temperature
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large egg
- 2 ½ teaspoons cinnamon divided
- 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar divided
- 4 tablespoons butter melted and cooled slightly, unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat to 350°F.
- Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of a 9x13" baking dish pinching the seams together if necessary.
- Using a hand mixer, beat together the cream cheese, vanilla, egg, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 ½ cups of the sugar in a medium bowl on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, approximately 2 minutes.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough with a rubber spatula.
- Unroll the second can of dough and lay it on top of the cream cheese layer. Stretch the dough to cover the cream cheese and pinch the seams to seal.
- Pour the butter over the top of the dough and spread to coat.
- Whisk together the remaining sugar and cinnamon then sprinkle over the top of the dough to coat.
- Bake until the dough is cooked through and puffed up, about 50 minutes.
- Allow to cool for 30 minutes before cutting into 12 pieces.
