Ingredients
Scale
Base and Filling
- 2 packages crescent rolls
- 2 – 8 ounce packages of cream cheese
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup sugar
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread one package of crescent roll dough evenly across an ungreased 9 x 13-inch baking pan to form the base layer.
- Make Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat together the two packages of cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough base in the baking pan.
- Add Top Layer: Unroll the second package of crescent rolls and lay it carefully over the cream cheese filling, covering it completely.
- Prepare Topping: Melt 1 stick of butter and pour it evenly over the top layer of crescent rolls to provide a rich buttery flavor and help the cinnamon sugar stick.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the melted butter on top of the crescent rolls.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into squares. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Make sure to cool the bars completely before slicing to ensure cleaner cuts.
- These bars can be served warm but taste best after chilling for the cheesecake to set.
- For a variation, you can add a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce on top before serving.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
