- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth and creamy.
- Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and lay it flat in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, pressing the seams together to form a solid layer.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll layer in the baking dish.
- Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and place it over the cream cheese mixture, again pressing the seams together.
- Brush the melted butter over the top layer of crescent roll dough, then sprinkle with additional cinnamon and sugar if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a teaspoon of almond extract to the cream cheese mixture.
- Serve with a drizzle of honey or chocolate sauce for added sweetness.
- Consider adding a layer of fresh berries or sliced peaches on top of the cream cheese before adding the second layer of dough for a fruit twist.
