Description

Mexican cheesecake.

Ingredients

  • 2 packages (8 Oz. Size) Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls
  • 2 packages (8 Oz. Size) Cream Cheese
  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 1-¼ cup Sugar, Divided
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla
  • 1-½ teaspoon Cinnamon

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375ºF.

Spray the bottom of a casserole dish with the spray and lay out one package of crescent rolls. Place in oven for about 2–3 minutes just to lightly bake.

Place the cream cheese in a microwavable dish if it isn’t soft and microwave for about 30 seconds. Spread over the lightly baked crescent rolls.

In another bowl add the melted butter, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla and stir. Spread that mixture over the cream cheese and top with the remaining crescent rolls.

In a smaller bowl add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and cinnamon and stir. Sprinkle the mixture over the top dough and bake for 20–25 minutes.
