Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Rolls
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz each)
Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Form the Base: Open one can of crescent roll dough and unroll it into the baking dish. Press it into an even layer, sealing any seams to form the base layer.
- Create the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the Filling: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the crescent roll base layer, ensuring full coverage.
- Add the Top Layer: Open the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully place it over the cream cheese layer. Press gently to seal it with the bottom layer.
- Top it Off: Pour the melted butter evenly over the top dough layer. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered dough.
- Bake: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the cream cheese filling is set. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover it with foil to prevent burning.
- Serve and Savor: Let the casserole cool slightly before cutting into pieces. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your rich and sweet treat.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened for smooth mixing.
- Use fresh crescent roll dough for best texture and rise.
- If the top browns prematurely, cover loosely with foil and continue baking.
- This casserole can be served warm or at room temperature, making it versatile for various occasions.
- For variation, you can add fresh fruit topping or drizzle with glaze after baking.
