Well, luckily for my waistline It took me this long to figure out that I’m capable of creating a “cheesecake” type treat! I’ve always been intimidated by Cheesecake goodies because something about the cheese and umm..the cake, seemed like something I’d SO totally mess up..lol!
Well, I didn’t mess it up this time! In fact I don’t think it’s even possible to mess these delicious, Churro inspired Cheesecake Bars up. They’re such a fun way to bring a State Fair feel to your wintery holiday table! And besides, who doesn’t love a cinnamony, cheesecakey treat, hmmm..who?! 🙂
What you’ll need for 24 happy people:
2 cans (8 oz. each) Pillsbury Crescent Dinner Rolls
2 pkg. (8 oz. each) Philadelphia Cream Cheese..softened
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup Sugar..divided
2 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
13×9″ baking pan
Directions:
Unroll one of the cans of the Crescent dough and press it onto the bottom of a greased 13×9″ baking pan, to form a bottom crust. Firmly press the seams together to seal.
With a hand mixer, beat the Cream Cheese, Vanilla, Egg and 1/2 cup of the Sugar on medium speed until well blended…
Spread it evenly onto the crust.
Unroll the remaining can of Crescent dough onto a large sheet of wax paper. Pat out the dough to form a 13×9″ rectangle, pressing the seams together to seal.
Invert over the Cream Cheese mixture to form a top crust.
Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
Combine the remaining 1/2 cup Sugar and Cinnamon in a bowl and sprinkle it all over the top…
NOW it’s Churro-fied…
Serve up a nice big square, or a few squares…and taste the amusing amazement! ~Enjoy! 🙂
These are out of this world, so addicting, YUMMMMMY!!!
These look amazing! I want to make them for my brothers birthday tonight but I’m not sure if they’re eaten cold or hot and fresh? Should I make the mixture now and then bake it right before serving? Thanks!!
Made it for my diabetic patient with trivia baking blend instead of sugar and yummy!
OMG! Made this cheesecake last night!! HEAVEN! 🙂
I’ve made these before… SO DELICIOUS! Scrumdiddlyumptious!! 🙂
I’ve been making this recipe for years but your renaming it is marketing genius! Sounds so much more fun and delicious! I use this as my base recipe and then mix it up – sometimes adding jam, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of pureed fresh fruit or chocolate.
Do you have to use 2 cans of the butter flake crescent?! Or could you just one?!
Thanks for this great recipe! I also read thru your reviews while these were baking and already want to try some of the other versions, all ideas sound so yummy! I did have a question: are the crusts supposed to come out crunchy or soft? I would assume crunchy because the whole churro correlation, however my crust was soft. Just curious, TIA
I love this. This is so simple but looks time consuming. Something great up show off at a house party
PLEASE don’t go by what the picture looks like. AND don’t even bother to post until you have tried them. AND no comments about what you USED to make called Sopasilla, OR that you have been making this for years and it was originally published in Kraft. WHO CARES! JUST make THIS recipe like it says and it will LOOK like this, TASTE better than anything you ever made, or ever saw in any magazine. Trust me you will want to save the whole thing for yourself. That is what I am doing!
Awesome! 🙂
I made it for the first time yesterday and tried it out on my friends. They liked it. I will put this in my “Look No More” file– where I keep my favorite recipes.
Served hot or cold?
Serve however you enjoy your Cheesecake. 🙂
Hi,
I just saw this as a pinterest pin. I make the same thing but, do not use an egg in the cream cheese mixture. I’m just wondering why you do….does it make it thicker?
Thanks,
Michelle
Just extra insurance…keeps it together 🙂
My family loves this recipe we got the recipe a couple of years ago from a party! I don’t put the egg in but I will have to try it and see if it turns out different. I also make a berry glaze and serve it with ice cream or whipped cream. Those additions to me put it over the top! I get request to make it for every party!
I love your Churro Cheesecake! I have made it a few times to amazing response. I did link you on my blog http://murthas.blogspot.com/2014/04/hectors-chicken-enchilada-casserole.html
Thank you again for a wonderful, tasty dessert!
