Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 8-oz cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 16 oz full-fat cream cheese
Sweeteners:
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
Flavor Enhancers:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 350°F and coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Carefully unroll the first crescent roll dough, pressing it into the dish’s bottom and sealing all perforated edges completely.
- Grab your hand mixer and blend 16 oz cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until silky smooth in about 2-3 minutes.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the first dough layer, ensuring total coverage.
- Unroll the second crescent dough, gently stretching to cover the cream cheese layer entirely and seal all edges.
- Melt ¼ cup butter and mix with 1 tablespoon cinnamon and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl.
- Brush the butter mixture generously across the top dough layer, creating an even coating.
- Slide the dish into the 350°F oven and bake for 30-32 minutes until the top turns golden brown.
- Remove from oven and allow the casserole to rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm or chill in the refrigerator, storing any leftovers in a sealed container for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Seal those crescent roll seams carefully to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- For an extra smooth cream cheese mixture, ensure the cream cheese is completely softened at room temperature before mixing.
- Experiment with flavor variations by adding a sprinkle of lemon zest or a dash of almond extract to the cream cheese filling.
- If watching sugar intake, substitute half the sugar with a sugar substitute or reduce the amount to suit your dietary needs.
