Make these simple Churro Cheesecake Bars using crescent roll dough for a perfect blend of creamy cheesecake and crunchy cinnamon sugar. This recipe is great for parties or a sweet weekend treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a small bowl, mix 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared 9×13 pan.
  4. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  5. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll crust layer.
  6. Drizzle the melted butter over the cheesecake layer.
  7. Sprinkle the reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the butter.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the center is mostly set.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  10. Once cool, cut the dessert into squares.

Notes

  • For a stronger churro flavor, you can lightly dust the bars with a final sprinkle of cinnamon sugar after they cool.
  • You can store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • These bars are excellent served slightly chilled.
