Ingredients

  • 2 cans crescent roll dough (store-bought sheets or individual rolls)
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Mix 1/2 cup sugar with cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
  3. Press one can of crescent dough into the bottom of the baking dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom dough layer.
  6. Unroll the second can of dough and place it over the filling, pressing lightly.
  7. Brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  8. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until golden and set.
  9. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Chill longer for cleaner cuts.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a layer of caramel or dulce de leche before the top dough.
  • Mini chocolate chips can be mixed into the cheesecake layer for a twist.
  • Chilled bars slice cleaner, while warm bars are gooier and more indulgent.
  • Store tightly wrapped in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
  • Use a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts for neat slices.
