Churro Cheesecake

 

Churro Cheesecake combines the crispy, cinnamon-sugar goodness of churros with the creamy decadence of cheesecake. This easy-to-make dessert is perfect for gatherings, holidays, or whenever you’re craving a sweet, indulgent treat.

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
    • 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
    • 1 cup sugar, divided
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/4 cup cinnamon
    • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
    • Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish, sealing any seams.
    • In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread the mixture evenly over the dough.
    • Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and layer it over the cream cheese mixture, gently pressing it into place.
    • In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the cinnamon. Brush the top layer of dough with melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over it.
    • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
    • Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or chilled.

    Notes

    • For extra decadence, drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce before serving.
    • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave for a warm treat.
    • Use a rolling pin to gently flatten the crescent roll dough for a more uniform layer.
    • This recipe can be made ahead of time and served at room temperature for convenience.
