Description
These Crescent Cheesecake Bars are a sweet, creamy, and buttery treat with a flaky crescent roll crust, a smooth cream cheese filling, and a cinnamon-sugar topping. They’re quick to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cans of Pillsbury crescent rolls
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3–4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Press one can of crescent rolls into the bottom of the baking dish, sealing the seams.
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread the mixture over the crescent roll base.
- Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and place it over the cream cheese mixture. Seal the seams gently.
- Mix cinnamon and sugar in a bowl. Pour melted butter over the top of the bars and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Allow to cool before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat individual bars in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or in the oven.
- For a fruit variation, add fruit preserves like strawberry or raspberry.
- For a nutty version, sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts on top.
- For a chocolate twist, add chocolate chips to the cream cheese filling.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the sugar or skip the cinnamon-sugar topping.
- Can be frozen after cooling and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
- Brown sugar can be used instead of granulated sugar for a richer flavor.
