Cheesecake Crescent Rolls Casserole Recipe

This decadent dessert is perfect for gatherings or as a comforting treat at home. Creamy, sweet, and easy to make, it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cans of crescent rolls (refrigerated)
  • 2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Pan
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Create the Bottom Layer
    Unroll one can of crescent rolls and spread the dough evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Press the seams together to form a solid layer.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
  4. Assemble the Layers
    Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll layer. Open the second can of crescent rolls and gently place it over the filling, creating a top crust. Again, press the seams together carefully.
  5. Add the Topping
    Pour the melted butter over the top layer of crescent rolls. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously across the surface for a sweet, caramelized finish.
  6. Bake to Perfection
    Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
  7. Cool and Serve
    Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for at least 20 minutes. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve warm or chilled.

Tips for the Best Cheesecake Crescent Rolls:

  • For extra richness, drizzle honey or maple syrup on top before serving.
  • Add a handful of fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream for an elegant presentation.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, reheating in the oven for a freshly baked texture.

Enjoy this indulgent dessert with family and friends—it’s bound to become a favorite! 🍰✨
