Cinnamon cheesecake bars are melt-in-your-mouth wonderful and almost too good to be true. They are super easy to make with crescent roll dough in a tube and just a few other ingredients. You can have them in the oven in a matter of minutes!
They look elegant and taste like they should have been much harder to make! Latch on to this one for every potluck and office get-together you have coming up! You WILL go home with an empty pan, so take the recipe with you!
This recipe calls for refrigerated crescent roll dough, but I found it’s even easier to use Pillsbury crescent roll sheets! You don’t even have to press the seams between the triangles back together when you use it! You just roll and go!
Spray or lightly grease a thirteen-by-nine-inch baking pan and roll one sheet of dough out to cover the bottom of the pan.
Have You Ever Wondered If Cream Cheese Is Really Cheese
Cream cheese is magic in a foil wrapper. It makes everything taste better, from frostings to fillings, to casseroles. But yes, it really is cheese.
Cream cheese is a fresh cheese defined by the FDA because it contains at least 33 percent fat and a moisture content of 55 percent or less. It’s soft, smooth, and mild with a pleasant tang.
Cream cheese was created in the United States and became popular near the end of the 1800s. Not surprisingly, it originated in Philadelphia. Today, people all over the world love to eat cream cheese!
For this recipe, beat two eight-ounce packages of cream cheese until it’s fluffy, then beat in one cup of powdered sugar and one and one-half teaspoons of vanilla until it’s all well blended.
Next, spread that mixture on the crescent roll dough in the bottom of the pan.
Now roll out the other sheet of dough and lay it on top of the cream cheese mixture. Melt one-fourth cup of butter, brush it over the top crust and sprinkle it liberally with cinnamon sugar.
Bake it in a 350-degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes until it’s bubbly and brown. Place the pan on a cooling rack and let it cool to room temperature before cutting the cinnamon cheesecake bars into small squares or triangles. They are rather rich, so a small piece is all you need.
