Make these Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars for a dessert that combines flaky crescent dough, creamy cheesecake filling, and a buttery cinnamon sugar topping. This recipe is simple to prepare and tastes like a blend of churro and cheesecake.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Optional: Honey, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Unroll one package of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, forming the bottom crust.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Spread this cream cheese filling evenly over the bottom layer of dough.
  4. Unroll the second package of crescent roll dough and carefully place it over the cream cheese layer. Pinch the seams together to seal the edges.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon together.
  6. Brush the top layer of dough evenly with the melted butter. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered top layer.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
  8. Let the bars cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before cutting. If you are using honey, drizzle it lightly over the bars before serving.

Notes

  • You can use a standard 9-inch springform pan instead of a 9×13 dish; adjust baking time slightly if needed.
  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese.
  • If you prefer a thinner topping, use only 1/4 cup of butter and mix it with the cinnamon sugar before sprinkling.
