Notes
- No crescent dough? Use puff pastry or homemade dough instead.
- Add crunch by sprinkling chopped almonds or pecans before baking.
- Prefer more filling? Double the cheesecake mixture for an extra creamy bite.
- Make ahead: Assemble the rolls and refrigerate overnight, then bake fresh in the morning.
