Ingredients

Units Scale
  • For the Casserole:
  • 2 (8 oz) cans crescent roll dough
  • 2 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for extra flavor)
  • For the Topping:
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Prepare the Bottom Layer: Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the dish, sealing the seams together.
  • Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth. Spread evenly over the crescent roll layer.
  • Add the Top Layer: Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and lay it over the cream cheese filling, pressing the seams together gently.
  • Make the Topping: Mix melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Brush or drizzle it over the top layer of dough.
  • Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
  • Cool & Serve: Let cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy warm or chilled!

Notes

  • Extra crunch? Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the cinnamon-sugar topping.
  • Want it even sweeter? Drizzle with honey or caramel after baking.
