Description

The perfect churro cheesecake combines buttery cinnamon crust, creamy cheesecake filling, and caramel drizzle for a dessert that’s impossible to resist.

Crescent roll dough (or puff pastry) – 2 cans (8 oz each)

Cream cheese – 16 oz, softened

Granulated sugar – 1 cup

Cinnamon powder – 2 tablespoons

Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon

Large eggs – 2

Unsalted butter – ½ cup, melted


Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Mix ½ cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon in a bowl for coating.

3. Roll out one can of crescent dough in a greased baking dish and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

4. Brush melted butter over the dough for a crisp churro-like texture.

5. Beat cream cheese and ½ cup sugar until smooth.

6. Mix in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.

7. Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the crust.

8. Lay the second crescent dough sheet on top, brush with butter, and sprinkle cinnamon sugar.

9. Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden and firm. Cool for 10 minutes.

10. Chill for at least 2 hours before slicing. Drizzle caramel before serving.
