Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (8 oz each) crescent roll dough
- 16 oz cream cheese
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup (melted) unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even layer.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough in the baking dish.
Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully lay it over the cream cheese layer. Pinch any seams in the dough together gently.
Pour the melted butter evenly over the top layer of crescent dough.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar with the ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered top of the dessert.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let the cake cool for at least 15 minutes.
Drizzle the honey over the top of the dessert before serving for an authentic sopapilla-inspired touch.
Slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
