Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking pan.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
- In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Sprinkle half of this mixture evenly over the crust.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add 1/2 cup sugar and the egg, beating until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cinnamon-sugar crust layer.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this topping mixture over the cheesecake layer.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is mostly set and the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cool, cut the dessert into squares or bars before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can add 1/4 cup of dulce de leche to the cream cheese mixture before spreading it over the crust.
