Description

Easy dessert that is a kid favorite!


Ingredients

Scale
  • two cans of crescent rolls
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • two, 8-ounce packages of cream cheese
  • 1 tsp cinnamon, divided
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. First, set your cream cheese out on a countertop to soften for about 20 minutes.
  2. Then, preheat the oven to 350°.
  3. Next, press one can of the crescent rolls into the bottom of a 9X13 glass baking pan.  You can stretch the dough to meet the edges of the pan and pinch any gaping perforations together.
  4. With a hand-held mixer,  blend the softened cream cheese with the white sugar, vanilla, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon in a medium-sized mixing bowl, until fully combined and creamy.
  5. Now spread this mixture on top of the crescent rolls.
  6. Unroll the dough from the other can of crescent rolls onto a nonstick surface.  Using your fingers, press the perforations together.
  7. Transfer the dough to the top of the cream cheese layer.  Form it against the sides of the baking dish so that the cream cheese layer is fully covered.
  8. Next, melt the butter.  Add 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon to the butter and mix.
  9. Now pour the butter mixture over the top of the crescent roll dough.
  10. Bake for 30 minutes. Then let the pan cool to room temperature.
  11. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the cheese layer set.
  12. Cut into squares and serve! Store in the refrigerator for up to five days.
