How to Make Cheesecake Sopapillas

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 13x9x2 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, 1 cup of the granulated sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  3. Unroll one can of crescent rolls onto a lightly floured surface. Gently press the perforations together to form a single, large rectangle.
  4. Place the dough into the prepared baking pan, pressing it evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides.
  5. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom layer of dough.
  6. Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and gently press the perforations together to form a rectangle.
  7. Place the second layer of dough on top of the cream cheese filling.
  8. Gently crimp the edges of the two layers of dough to seal.
  9. Drizzle melted butter evenly over the top of the dough.
  10. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and the ground cinnamon.
  11. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the buttered dough.
  12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
  13. Let cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy!
