How to Make Sopapilla Cheesecake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together 1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Set the cream cheese mixture aside.
  5. Unroll two (8 ounce) cans of crescent roll dough. On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to gently shape each sheet into a 9x13 inch rectangle.
  6. Press one rectangle of crescent dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  7. Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the bottom layer of dough.
  8. Top with the remaining crescent dough rectangle. Brush the entire top with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  9. In a small bowl, mix together ½ cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.
  10. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the cheesecake.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crescent dough is puffed and golden brown.
  12. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
