Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk
For the Crescent Rolls:
- 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
For the Topping:
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar (mix 2 tbsp sugar + ½ tsp cinnamon)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Crescent Dough:
Roll out one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Make sure to seal any seams where the dough comes together to form a solid crust.
3. Make the Cream Cheese Filling:
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until smooth and well-combined. Spread the mixture evenly over the layer of crescent dough in the baking dish.
4. Add the Top Layer:
Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and lay it over the cream cheese mixture. Press the edges of the dough together to seal and enclose the filling inside.
5. Brush with Butter & Add Topping:
Brush the top of the dough with melted butter to give it a golden, crispy finish. Sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
6. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. The dough should be perfectly flaky and crispy on the edges.
7. Cool & Serve:
Allow the cheesecake bars to cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares. Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
Tips for the Perfect Cheesecake Crescent Rolls:
- Extra sweetness: Drizzle with honey or caramel sauce after baking for an extra indulgent touch.
- Top with fresh fruit: Fresh berries, such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries, complement the sweetness of the bars perfectly.
- Make-ahead: These bars can be prepared the day before and refrigerated. Just warm them up slightly before serving.
