Equipment

  • 9×13-inch baking pan
  • mixing bowl
  • Spoon or pastry brush

Ingredients
  

Cinnamon Sugar

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar

Cheesecake Bars

  • 2 packages refrigerated crescent roll dough or sheets 8-ounce each
  • 16 ounces full-fat cream cheese softened
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar until well combined. Set aside.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position the rack in the middle. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and sprinkle 1–2 tablespoons of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly on the bottom.
  • Open one tube of crescent roll dough, unroll it carefully, and press the seams together to form a single rectangular sheet. Place this sheet into the prepared pan, ensuring it covers the bottom completely.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Pour this mixture over the base layer in the pan, spreading it evenly.
  • Open the second tube of crescent roll dough, repeat the process of sealing seams, and gently place it over the cheesecake filling to form a top layer. Pour melted butter over this layer and spread it evenly using a spoon or pastry brush.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar generously over the buttered top layer.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 26–30 minutes or until the crescent dough is puffed and golden brown. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
  • Once cooled to room temperature, refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the layers to set. Slice into bars before serving.

Notes

Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature with fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel sauce for added flair. Tip: Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for a creamy filling without lumps.
