Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (8 oz/226 g) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 packages (8 oz/226 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (57 g) unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly.
- Base Layer: Unroll the first sheet of crescent roll dough, carefully pressing it into the dish’s bottom, eliminating any gaps or seams.
- Cream Cheese Filling: Whip cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, creating a luxurious mixture.
- Layering and Assembly: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the dough, then cover with the second crescent roll sheet, sealing the edges completely.
- Finishing Touches: Drizzle melted butter over the entire surface, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously, ensuring even coverage.
- Baking: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, watching for a golden-brown crust and set filling.
- Cooling and Serving: Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes, allowing the layers to settle and flavors to meld before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Seal Edges Carefully: Press dough edges firmly to prevent filling leakage and ensure a uniform, professional-looking result.
- Whisk Cream Cheese Smoothly: Blend ingredients until absolutely silky to eliminate lumps and create a creamy, consistent texture.
- Monitor Baking Closely: Watch casserole during final 10 minutes to prevent over-browning and achieve perfect golden color.
- Cool Before Serving: Let casserole rest 10-15 minutes after baking to stabilize layers and enhance flavor melding.
