Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk (whole or 2% recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional garnish)
  • Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), for garnish (optional)
  • Chocolate sauce or caramel sauce, for drizzling (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and lay the triangles flat in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, pressing together at seams to form a single layer.
  3. Melt the butter and pour it evenly over the crescent dough layer, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
  4. Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and layer it on top of the butter and sugar mixture, pressing seams together.
  5. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, adding 1 cup granulated sugar gradually. Follow with the egg, vanilla extract, and milk until combined.
  6. Pour the cream cheese filling over the crescent dough in the baking dish and spread it evenly.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the filling is set.
  8. Allow to cool on a wire rack for 30-60 minutes, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-4 hours or overnight for best results.
  9. Once chilled, cut into 12-16 bars and serve garnished with powdered sugar, fresh berries, or drizzles of chocolate or caramel sauce as desired.
  10. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature cream cheese and do not skip the chilling time.
