Ingredients

Scale

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dough and Topping

  • 2 (8 oz) cans Pillsbury crescent dinner rolls
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 Tbsp ground cinnamon
  • Non-stick spray (for pan)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the bars.
  2. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar with 4 tablespoons of ground cinnamon; set aside for layering and topping.
  3. Make Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add 1/2 cup sugar, the egg, and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
  4. Prepare Baking Pan: Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly across the bottom of the pan.
  5. Layer Dough and Filling: Unroll one can of crescent dough onto waxed paper, press the seams together to prevent gaps, then place this layer over the cinnamon sugar in the prepared baking pan. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over this dough layer.
  6. Add Top Dough Layer: Lay down the second can of crescent dough on top of the cream cheese filling, again pressing seams to seal.
  7. Top with Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top dough layer.
  8. Bake Bars: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool at room temperature before cutting into squares and serving for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Press crescent roll seams well to prevent filling leakage during baking.
  • Use a 9×13-inch pan for even thickness of the bars.
  • Cool bars completely before slicing to maintain clean cuts.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
