Make these simple Churro Cheesecake Bars combining a buttery crust, creamy filling, and cinnamon sugar topping. This recipe is easy to make and perfect for serving a crowd.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) package crescent roll dough
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Do not stretch the dough; just press the seams together to form a single layer crust.
  3. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the crescent roll crust.
  4. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Spread this cheesecake filling evenly over the cinnamon sugar layer.
  5. In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon for the topping.
  6. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cheesecake filling. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the butter.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is mostly set and the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting them into squares. This helps the creamy filling set properly.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use a graham cracker crust base instead of crescent rolls.
  • If you want a caramel swirl cheesecake effect, drizzle caramel sauce over the filling before adding the final cinnamon sugar topping.
  • You can make these ahead of time and store them covered in the refrigerator for up to three days.
