Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream cheese
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 cans Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 stick Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp Honey (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set it aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, sealing any perforations to create a single sheet of dough.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent dough layer.
Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully lay it over the cream cheese layer, ensuring any perforations are sealed.
Melt the stick of unsalted butter and pour it evenly over the top layer of crescent roll dough.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar with the ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the melted butter on top of the dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and slightly puffed.
Remove from the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool for at least 15 minutes. For best results, chill in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours to set completely.
Optional: Drizzle the top with honey just before serving for an extra layer of sweetness. Slice into squares and enjoy!
