How to Make Crescent Cheesecake Danish

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Unroll one package (8 oz) of crescent roll dough and gently press the seams together to form a large rectangle. Place it in the prepared pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces of cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough.
  5. Unroll the second package (8 oz) of crescent roll dough and place it over the cream cheese filling. Gently press the edges to seal.
  6. In a small bowl, melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter.
  7. Pour the melted butter evenly over the top layer of crescent rolls.
  8. In a separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  9. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the melted butter.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is set.
  11. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
