Ingredients – Cheesecake Crescent Rolls Casserole
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Refrigerated crescent roll dough | 2 cans (8 oz each) |
| Cream cheese, softened | 2 packages (8 oz each) |
| Granulated sugar | 1 cup |
| Vanilla extract | 1 tsp |
| Unsalted butter, melted | ¼ cup |
| Granulated sugar (for topping) | ¼ cup |

Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
2. Create the Base
Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the dish. Seal any seams and edges to form a smooth, even layer.
3. Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, 1 cup granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until completely smooth. Spread the mixture evenly over the crescent dough base.
4. Add the Top Layer
Unroll the second can of crescent dough and carefully place it over the cream cheese layer. Gently pinch the edges to seal in the filling.
5. Finish with Flavor
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ¼ cup sugar with the cinnamon, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
6. Bake
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheesecake layer is set.
7. Serve
Allow the casserole to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm for a rich, indulgent dessert or a sweet brunch option.
Whether you’re hosting a special gathering or simply satisfying a sweet craving, this Cheesecake Crescent Rolls Casserole delivers every time. With its creamy center, flaky layers, and cinnamon-sugar topping, it’s a dessert everyone will be asking for again and again.
