Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cans (8 ounces / 226 grams each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 packages (8 ounces / 226 grams each) cream cheese, softened
Sweeteners and Spices:
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (57 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating it to 350°F and coating a 9×13-inch baking pan with a light layer of grease to prevent sticking.
- Carefully unroll the first package of crescent roll dough, spreading it evenly across the bottom of the prepared pan. Gently press the dough to seal any visible seams, creating a uniform base.
- Create the creamy filling by whisking cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until the mixture becomes smooth and fully integrated.
- Distribute the cream cheese mixture uniformly across the crescent roll foundation, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Gently unfurl the second package of crescent roll dough, laying it delicately atop the cream cheese layer. Carefully press the edges to create a secure seal between layers.
- Drizzle melted butter generously across the top surface of the assembled pastry.
- Combine sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl, then liberally sprinkle the fragrant mixture over the buttered surface.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, watching for a golden-brown transformation of the crescent dough and a set filling.
- Remove from the oven and allow the dessert to cool slightly, permitting the layers to stabilize before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Sealing the seams carefully ensures a smooth, even base for your cheesecake bars.
- Mixing cream cheese with sugar creates a luxurious, creamy filling that melts in your mouth.
- Sprinkling cinnamon sugar on top adds a delightful crunch and sweet-spicy flavor to the dessert.
