Grandma’s Cheesecake Crescent Delight

A nostalgic, crowd-pleasing dessert that layers creamy cheesecake between buttery crescent rolls, finished with a sweet cinnamon-sugar topping.

Preheat & Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
First Dough Layer:
Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the dish. Gently seal the seams with your fingers to create a solid base.
Make Cheesecake Filling:
In a medium mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Spread the Filling:
Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the dough layer in the baking dish.
Second Dough Layer:
Unroll the second can of crescent dough and place it carefully over the filling. Seal edges and seams as best as you can.
Add Topping:
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top.
In a small bowl, mix the 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon, then sprinkle it generously over the buttered dough.
Bake:
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
Cool & Serve:
Allow the casserole to cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

For added flavor, try mixing a bit of lemon zest into the cream cheese filling.
You can also add a swirl of fruit preserves (like raspberry or strawberry) on top of the cheesecake layer before placing the second dough.
Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 4 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.

Enjoy this cozy classic — it’s more than dessert; it’s a memory in every bite.
