How to Make Cream Cheese Croissant Dessert
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Open and unroll one package (8-10 croissants) of croissants and arrange them at the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg yolk until completely smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the layer of croissants.
- Open the second package (8-10 croissants) of croissants, unroll them, and arrange them on top of the cream cheese mixture.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and the filling is set.
- Immediately after baking, brush the top with 1 large egg white lightly beaten, and sprinkle with 1-2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Optional: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra warmth.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, cold, or at room temperature!
