Easy Sopapilla Cheesecake Dessert

Sopapilla cheesecake dessert is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that combines the creamy goodness of cheesecake with the sweet and crispy flavors of sopapillas. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:

Ingredients:

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 2 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs

For the Sopapilla Layer:

• 2 (8-ounce) cans of refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy.
3. Add in the cup of granulated sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, until the cheesecake filling is smooth and without lumps.
5. Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the greased baking dish to form a bottom crust.
6. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crescent roll layer, spreading it evenly.
7. Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and place it on top of the cream cheese mixture to create a top crust. Stretch and adjust the dough as needed to cover the filling.
8. In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
9. Pour the butter-sugar-cinnamon mixture over the top layer of crescent roll dough.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the sopapilla cheesecake is golden brown and the center is set.
11. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for a few hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to set.
12. Once chilled, cut into squares and serve. You can dust the top with a little powdered sugar or drizzle with honey for extra sweetness, if desired.

Enjoy your homemade sopapilla cheesecake dessert! It’s a delightful treat that combines the best of both worlds – cheesecake and sopapillas.
