Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups granulated sugar, divided
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
- 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 can seamless crescent dough
- 1 stick butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy release after baking.
- In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, egg, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Open the can of cinnamon roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared pan, making sure to pinch together any seams.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll dough. Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top.
- Cover the cream cheese layer with the seamless crescent dough, stretching it gently to fit over the top. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, the remaining 1 cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Microwave until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the butter mixture evenly over the crescent dough. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool in the pan before cutting into squares. This resting period helps the layers set properly and intensifies the flavors.
