Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Layer the Crescent Dough: Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and lay it flat in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, pressing any seams together to form an even layer.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Casserole: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough layer. Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and lay it on top, pinching the seams together.
- Top with Butter and Cinnamon-Sugar: Brush the melted butter over the top layer of dough. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are slightly puffed.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for a sweet, creamy treat!
Notes
- For added flavor, consider incorporating lemon zest into the cream cheese filling.
- Make sure your cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
