Create these simple Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars for a dessert that tastes like a blend of churros and creamy cheesecake. This recipe uses flaky crescent roll dough for a quick, crowd-pleasing treat perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Unroll one package of crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom layer of crescent roll dough.
  5. Unroll the second package of crescent roll dough and carefully place it over the cream cheese layer. Gently pinch the seams together if necessary.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon together.
  7. Brush the melted butter evenly over the top layer of dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered top.
  8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
  9. Let the bars cool slightly before slicing into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For an extra churro flavor, drizzle a little honey over the bars after they cool slightly.
  • You can make this dessert ahead of time; cover and chill the assembled, unbaked bars for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • If you prefer a richer topping, substitute 1/4 cup of the melted butter with 1/4 cup of honey mixed with 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
