Description
This Churro Cheesecake combines the creamy richness of cheesecake with the cinnamon-sugar crunch of churros layers of buttery crescent dough, sweet cream cheese filling, and a golden cinnamon topping baked to perfection.
Ingredients
2 (8 oz) cans crescent roll dough
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Optional: caramel or chocolate sauce for serving
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
3. Unroll one can of crescent dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared dish, sealing seams.
4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough.
5. Unroll the second can of crescent dough and gently lay it on top of the filling.
6. Mix melted butter, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and cinnamon together.
7. Brush the cinnamon butter evenly over the top layer.
8. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly puffed.
9. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
10. Drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce if desired.
Notes
For extra crunch, sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Serve warm or chilled — both ways are irresistible.
