Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 8-ounce cans (450 g) refrigerated crescent roll sheets, divided
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 ¼ cups (250 g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 24 ounces (680 g) cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml) pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup (56 g) salted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Unroll one can of crescent roll sheets and lay it in the bottom of the baking dish, pressing the seams together.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth, then add 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar and mix well.
  4. Add vanilla extract and blend until fully incorporated.
  5. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll layer.
  6. Unroll the second can of crescent roll sheets and place it over the cream cheese layer, pressing seams together.
  7. In a bowl, mix the remaining ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar with ground cinnamon, then sprinkle over the top layer.
  8. Drizzle melted butter over the entire top layer.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. Allow to cool for 15-20 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled!

Notes

Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature to achieve a smooth filling without lumps. If using crescent rolls, press the seams together carefully for a seamless crust. Consider adding fruit preserves or chocolate chips for a fun variation!
