Viral dump-and-bake dessert ready in 45 minutes perfect for brunch, potlucks, or Pinterest breakfast boards with gooey cream cheese center and flaky golden crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Crescent Layers:
  • 2 (8 oz) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • Cheesecake Filling:
  • 2 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • 2. Unroll first can crescent dough into dish bottom. Press seams together to seal, creating solid layer.
  • 3. Beat softened cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Spread evenly over dough.
  • 4. Unroll second can crescent dough over cream cheese. Press seams together to seal top layer.
  • 5. Brush melted butter over top dough. Mix 2 tbsp sugar with cinnamon; sprinkle generously over butter.
  • 6. Bake 25-30 minutes until top golden brown and bubbly. Cool 20 minutes before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Full-fat cream cheese creates richest texture; don’t substitute low-fat.
  • Press crescent seams firmly to prevent leaks during baking.
  • Bake until edges pull slightly from pan sides for perfect doneness.
  • Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle vanilla glaze for Pinterest presentation.
  • Stores 3 days refrigerated; microwave squares 15 seconds for warm gooey center.
  • Freezes beautifully cut first, wrap individually for grab-and-go treats.
