They can be transformed into a savory ham and cheese roll or a mouthwatering taco app. And now, get ready for them to play the role of cheesecake crust in a dessert that is both incredibly easy and unbelievably delicious!

This recipe takes just a handful of ingredients and a few minutes of your time, so you can whip up a delectable treat in no time. The cheesecake filling is creamy and sweet, while the crescent rolls add a buttery and flaky texture. Together, they create a dessert that is more cheesecake than crescent roll, but equally as irresistible.

To make these Cheesecake Crescent Rolls, you’ll start with two cans of crescent rolls. Unroll one can and arrange it in the bottom of a baking dish. Then, prepare the quick filling by combining cream cheese, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Spread this creamy mixture over the crescent roll layer. Next, unroll the second can of crescent rolls and place it on top of the cream cheese layer. Finish it off with melted butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.

When baking, the perforations in the dough make it easy to slice and serve. The result is a golden brown dessert that is tempting to eat in one bite! These Cheesecake Crescent Rolls are perfect for any occasion, whether you’re serving them for dessert or enjoying them with a cup of tea in the afternoon. Just be warned, it’s hard to stop at just one!
