Ingredients

  • 2 cans of refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 2 8 ounce blocks of cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup of melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to ensure the casserole does not stick.

  2. 2

    Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and spread it evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Press the seams together to create a uniform layer.

  3. 3

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese together with 1 cup of granulated sugar and the vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are smooth and well combined.

  4. 4

    Evenly distribute the cream cheese mixture over the layer of crescent roll dough in the baking dish, ensuring a consistent layer.

  5. 5

    Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully place it over the cream cheese layer. Press the seams together to create a smooth top layer.

  6. 6

    Brush the melted butter evenly over the top layer of crescent roll dough. In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and the remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the buttered dough.

  7. 7

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is crisp and golden brown.

  8. 8

    Allow the casserole to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing it into squares and serving. Optionally, drizzle with honey for added sweetness.
