Ingredients
- 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
2. Prepare the Dough
Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it firmly into the bottom of the dish, making sure to seal any seams.
3. Make the Filling
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth. Spread this creamy mixture evenly over the dough in your dish.
4. Add the Top Layer
Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully lay it over the cream cheese filling, pressing the edges to seal.
5. Add Toppings
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top dough layer. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar with ground cinnamon, then sprinkle this sweet cinnamon mixture over the butter.
6. Bake
Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheesecake layer has set.
7. Cool and Serve
Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes to make cutting easier. Once slightly cooled, slice and enjoy the heavenly blend of flavors and textures.
