Create these irresistible churro cheesecake bars using crescent rolls for a simple, comforting dessert. You get the creamy tang of cheesecake layered between a cinnamon-sugar crust and topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for optional drizzle)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk (for optional drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. This is your cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  3. Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the bottom crust.
  4. Brush the melted butter over the crescent roll crust. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered crust.
  5. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar, the egg, and vanilla extract. Beat until the filling is creamy and well combined.
  6. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the bottom crust layer.
  7. Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough. Gently pull the pieces apart slightly, then arrange them over the cheesecake filling. Do not overlap them too much; just cover the filling.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar with the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the top layer of dough.
  9. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the center is mostly set.
  10. Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. Once cool, cut the dessert into squares. If you want a drizzle, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled bars before serving.
  12. Chill the bars for at least 2 hours before slicing for the best texture.

Notes

  • For a richer churro flavor, you can use graham cracker crumbs mixed with cinnamon and sugar for the bottom crust instead of crescent rolls.
  • Do not overbake; the center will set up more firmly as the bars chill.
  • These bars taste best when served chilled, which keeps the cheesecake filling firm.
