Churro Cheesecake Bars

Make delicious cheesecake squares instead of traditional churros when you're craving something sweet. Layers of golden rolled dough encase a rich and creamy filling in this dish, which is then topped with a sugary cinnamon mixture.

Ingredients

• 0.5 cups of sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 2 cans (8-ounce) Pillsbury crescent dinner rolls
• 2 containers (8-ounce) softened cream cheese
• 0.5 cups of sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together 0.5 cups of sugar and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add 0.5 cups of sugar, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined. Reserve this mixture.
3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
4. Evenly sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the bottom of the prepared pan.
5. Open one can of crescent dough and lay it out on floured wax paper. Press the seams together to form a solid sheet. Gently transfer it into the pan, covering the bottom and allowing for a slight overhang.
6. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough layer.
7. Open the second can of crescent dough, roll it out, and place it on top of the cream cheese layer.
8. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar evenly over the top layer of dough.
9. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned.
10. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
