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.
