Ingredients

  • 4 packages cream cheese, softened 8 ounce each
  • 2 cups granulated sugar divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cans crescent roll sheets
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese with 1 1/2 cups of sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar with the cinnamon. Set aside.
  4. Press the first sheet of crescent roll dough into the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish. Pour cheesecake filling over the dough, then roll the second layer of dough over the top.
  5. Brush the melted butter over the top layer of dough and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mix.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting.
  7. Store in refrigerator.

Notes

  • Drizzle with honey or chocolate sauce for a tasty twist!
  • I like full fat cream cheese best for making cheesecakes! You could substitute low fat varieties but it won't be as rich. Since there are so few ingredients here, the cream cheese flavor is important!
  • If you're using the regular crescent roll dough for the crust, make sure to fully pinch all the seams together so there's no separation in your crust.
  • If you love today's sopapilla cheesecake, be sure to give our easy cheese danish recipe a try, made with puff pastry!
  • Store sopapilla cheesecake bars, covered, in refrigerator for up to 5 days.
