Description
Crescent Roll Cheesecake, also known as Sopapilla Cheesecake, is a rich and creamy dessert made with layers of buttery crescent roll dough, a sweet cream cheese filling, and a cinnamon-sugar topping. Easy to prepare with just a few ingredients, it’s perfect for potlucks, parties, or a cozy family dessert.
Ingredients
1 lb cream cheese, softened
1 ¾ cups sugar, divided
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 (8-oz) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
½ cup butter, melted
1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Beat cream cheese with 1 cup sugar until smooth. Mix in vanilla extract.
- Roll out one can of crescent roll dough to fit the baking dish and press into the bottom.
- Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over dough.
- Roll out the second can of crescent roll dough and place on top.
- Mix melted butter with remaining ¾ cup sugar and cinnamon. Spread evenly over top dough.
- Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool completely before cutting into squares. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- For clean slices, chill completely before cutting and wipe the knife between cuts.
- To prevent over-browning, cover with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking if needed.
- Dough sheets (without perforations) work even better than crescent rolls.
- Try adding pie filling, chocolate chips, or nuts for flavor variations.
