Ingredients

  • 2 cans crescent rolls dough
  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups sugar divided
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract (Mexican vanilla, if you have it)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (orange juice will also work nicely)
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest (orange zest will also work nicely)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup butter, melted (1 stick)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line the bottom of a 13x9-inch casserole dish with 1 can of crescent roll dough. The dough can be stretched a bit to cover the bottom of the dish. If you roll it out with a rolling pin the pre-cut lines will disappear.
  3. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, 1½ cups sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the layer of crescent rolls in the baking dish.
  5. Spread the remaining can of crescent rolls over the cream cheese layer.
  6. Place 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and ½ cup of sugar in a small bowl. Stir to combine.
  7. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the top layer of crescent rolls.
  8. Drizzle melted butter on top.
  9. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.

Notes

  • If you really want to send this dessert over the edge, you may want to serve this with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
