Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans of crescent roll dough
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, but adds a lovely zing)
- 1 tsp cinnamon (for sprinkling on top)
- 1 tbsp butter, melted (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Get that cozy kitchen vibe going!
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Roll Out the Crescent Dough: Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, making sure to seal the seams. This will be your base layer.
- Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using) and mix until well combined. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until creamy and fluffy.
- Spread the Filling: Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture over the crescent roll dough in the baking dish.
- Top with More Dough: Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and lay it over the cream cheese filling. Don’t worry if it doesn’t cover it completely; it will puff up beautifully while baking!
- Brush with Butter: Brush the melted butter over the top layer of dough and sprinkle with cinnamon and powdered sugar for that extra touch of sweetness.
- Bake: Pop it in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Cool and Serve: Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm, and watch as everyone digs in with delight!
