Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch glass or ceramic pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Unroll one can of crescent rolls and place it on the bottom of the pan. Pinch the seams together and press the rolls out to cover the bottom evenly.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup of white sugar and the cornstarch, mixing until well combined.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and egg. Stir until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
- Pour this cream cheese batter over the crescent roll layer in the pan, smoothing it down evenly.
- On a piece of parchment paper, unroll the second package of crescent rolls. Pinch the seams together and gently roll it out to be about 1/2 inch longer and wider.
- Carefully place the sheet of crescent roll dough on top of the cheesecake layer.
- Brush the melted butter over the top of the dough.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup of white sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the bars.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35 – 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then, chill in the fridge for 3 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
These bars are best served with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and can also have honey drizzled over them for added sweetness. They can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for longer preservation.
