Ingredients
Scale
- 2 packages (8 oz / 226 g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 cans (8 oz / 226 g) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (57 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Set oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan for optimal pastry release.
- Create Base Layer: Unroll first crescent roll dough across pan bottom, pressing seams to form a seamless foundation.
- Craft Cream Filling: Whip cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a mixing bowl until achieving a silky, homogeneous texture.
- Layer Cream Mixture: Spread cream cheese blend evenly across the crescent roll base, ensuring complete coverage.
- Assemble Top Layer: Gently position second crescent roll dough over cream cheese, sealing edges to create a cohesive pastry structure.
- Enhance Flavor Profile: Drizzle melted butter across the surface, then dust with a blend of sugar and ground cinnamon for aromatic richness.
- Bake to Perfection: Slide pan into preheated oven, baking 30-35 minutes until dough achieves a golden-brown hue and filling sets completely.
- Rest and Serve: Allow pastry to cool briefly, stabilizing layers before slicing into delectable portions.
Notes
- Seal Seams Carefully: Press crescent roll dough edges firmly to prevent separation during baking, ensuring a smooth, unified base.
- Achieve Creamy Perfection: Whisk cream cheese mixture until completely smooth, eliminating any lumps for a silky-soft texture.
- Butter Distribution Matters: Drizzle melted butter evenly across the top to create a rich, golden-brown crust with consistent flavor.
- Cool Before Cutting: Let the pastry rest for 10-15 minutes after baking to set the filling and prevent crumbling when slicing.
