Ingredients
  

Crescent Roll Dough
  • 2 cans crescent roll dough (8 oz each) Use standard store-bought cans. (Sub: gluten-free crescent dough if needed.)
Cheesecake Filling
  • 2 packages cream cheese, softened (8 oz each) Room temperature makes mixing smooth.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Folded into the cream cheese. (Sub: coconut sugar for a deeper flavor.)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Or swap with 1 tsp lemon or almond extract for a twist.
Topping
  • 1/4 cup melted butter To brush over the top for browning and richness.
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar Combined with cinnamon for the finish.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon For the classic cinnamon-sugar crunch on top.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup sugar and 1 tsp vanilla. Mix until creamy and homogenous.
  3. Unroll one can of crescent roll dough. Press it into the bottom of the prepared pan, sealing seams to create an even layer.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough base, smoothing to the edges.
  5. Unroll the second can of crescent dough and place it over the filling. Press gently to seal the edges.
  6. Brush the top with 1/4 cup melted butter. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup sugar with 1 tsp cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over the buttered top.
Baking
  1. Bake on the center rack for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and edges are set. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
  2. Remove from oven and cool at least 15–20 minutes before slicing—this helps the filling set and keeps slices neat. Serve warm or at room temperature.
