Cheesecake Crescent Rolls Casserole Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
  2. Prepare the Base: Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the casserole dish. Make sure to seal any seams to form a solid layer.

  4. Top Layer: Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and layer it over the cheesecake filling, pressing the edges to seal.
  5. Add the Topping: Pour the melted butter evenly over the casserole. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle this over the butter.
  6. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the filling has set.
  7. Serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
