- 2 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened 🧀
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 🧈
- Cinnamon and sugar for sprinkling
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to ensure easy removal of your casserole.
- Prepare Crescent Rolls: Unroll one can of crescent rolls and press it into the bottom of the greased baking dish. Ensure that the seams are pinched together to create a solid base.
- Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This forms the decadent cheesecake filling.
- Spread Cheesecake Filling: Evenly spread the cheesecake filling over the layer of crescent rolls in the baking dish, covering it completely.
- Top with Second Layer of Crescent Rolls: Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and place it on top of the cheesecake filling. Again, pinch the seams together to create a cohesive top layer.
- Drizzle with Melted Butter: Drizzle the melted butter over the top layer of crescent rolls. This adds a buttery richness to the casserole.
- Sprinkle with Cinnamon and Sugar: Generously sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over the entire casserole. This not only adds a delightful flavor but also creates a golden, caramelized crust when baked.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the cheesecake filling is set.
- Cool and Chill: Allow the Cheesecake Crescent Rolls Casserole to cool in the baking dish for about 15 minutes. Then, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to enhance the flavors and make it easier to cut.
- Slice and Serve: Once chilled, slice into squares or rectangles. Serve chilled for a refreshing treat.
