Ingredients

• 2 (8 oz) cans crescent rolls
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/2 tsp lemon juice (optional)
• 1/4 cup butter, melted (for topping)
• 1/4 cup brown sugar (for topping)
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon (for topping)

Preparation

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to ensure your crescent rolls don’t stick.

Step 2: Prepare the Crescent Roll Layers
Unroll the crescent rolls and layer them on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Press the seams together to form a crust-like base.

Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar, vanilla extract, sour cream, and lemon juice (if using) until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Spread this cheesecake filling evenly over the crescent roll layer.

Step 4: Add the Second Crescent Roll Layer
Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and place them over the cheesecake filling. Seal the edges to ensure the filling stays inside during baking.

Step 5: Prepare the Topping
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Drizzle this sweet and buttery topping evenly over the crescent rolls for a golden, caramelized finish.

Step 6: Bake
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. The aroma of cinnamon and butter will fill your kitchen, signaling a delicious treat is on its way!

Step 7: Cool and Serve
Allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. For an extra touch, sprinkle with powdered sugar or top with fresh berries for a burst of freshness.

Serving Suggestions
Serve these Cheesecake Crescent Rolls warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce or chocolate sauce for an indulgent dessert. They’re also perfect for brunch alongside a cup of coffee or tea.

Enjoy this easy-to-make, crowd-pleasing recipe that’s sure to become a favorite in your household!
