Cheesecake Crescent Rolls Casserole

Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg, beaten
For the Crescent Rolls:
  • 2 cans (8 oz each) crescent roll dough (preferably seamless dough)
For the Topping:
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tbsp milk (adjust for consistency)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the vanilla extract and beaten egg, mixing until fully combined. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Crescent Rolls:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and press the seams together to form one large sheet of dough.
  3. Lay the dough evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, pressing the edges to fit and cover the entire dish.
3. Assemble the Casserole:
  1. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the crescent dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  2. Unroll the second can of crescent dough and lay it over the cheesecake filling, sealing the edges to the bottom dough.
  3. Use a fork to gently press down on the edges to seal the casserole together.
4. Bake the Casserole:
  1. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
  2. Allow the casserole to cool slightly before cutting into squares.
5. Make the Topping:
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk to create a smooth glaze.
  2. Drizzle the glaze over the warm casserole before serving.

Tips for Success:

  • If you prefer a thicker cheesecake filling, use 12 oz of cream cheese instead of 8 oz.
  • For added flavor, consider mixing in a bit of lemon zest or a handful of fruit like strawberries or blueberries to the cheesecake filling.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and reheat before serving for the best texture.

This Cheesecake Crescent Rolls Casserole is a warm, indulgent dessert with a flaky, buttery crust and creamy cheesecake filling. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth!
