Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tubes (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar for filling
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg room temp
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for topping
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon

Method
 

  1. **Heat.** Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with nonstick spray.
  2. **Bottom.** Unroll one tube of crescent dough and press into the pan, sealing all the seams together to make one solid sheet.
  3. **Beat.** Beat cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, vanilla, and egg 2 minutes until smooth and lump free.
  4. **Spread.** Spread cheesecake mixture evenly over the bottom crust.
  5. **Top.** Unroll the second crescent tube and lay over the cheesecake, pressing seams together to seal.
  6. **Coat.** Brush top with melted butter. Mix 1/2 cup sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle generously over the buttered top.
  7. **Bake.** Bake 30 minutes until top is deep golden and crisp. Cool 1 hour before slicing into 12 bars.

Notes

Use full fat cream cheese softened 1 hour for a smooth filling. Press the crescent dough seams together to seal them before adding the cheesecake layer. Brush melted butter over the top crescent dough before adding cinnamon sugar so it sticks.
