Ingredients
- 2 cans of crescent roll dough
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar, divided
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Execution
1- Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and lay it flat in the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, pinching together the seams if necessary.
2- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough in the baking dish.
3- Top with Dough: Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully lay it on top of the cheesecake layer, again pinching any seams.
4- Add Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar with the ground cinnamon. Brush the top dough layer with melted butter and sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
5- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until golden brown. Let the cheesecake cool slightly before slicing and serving.
