Description
A simple yet indulgent dessert featuring layers of golden-brown crescent rolls and creamy cheesecake filling with hints of vanilla and cinnamon. Perfect for holidays or weeknight treats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (8 oz each) crescent roll dough
- 16 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- Ground cinnamon for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
- Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the baking dish, pinching the seams together to create a solid layer.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll base using a spatula.
- Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and lay it over the filling, pinching the seams together as you did for the base.
- Brush the melted butter over the top layer of crescent rolls and sprinkle generously with ground cinnamon.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and puffed.
- Allow the casserole to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For best results, let the cream cheese soften at room temperature before mixing. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. Serve with powdered sugar or caramel drizzle for added flair.
