This Honey Cinnamon-Sugar Sopapilla Cheesecake is a delightful addition to any dessert lineup, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cheesecake Layers:
- 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- For the Finishing Touch:
- ½ cup honey (for drizzling)
- Optional Add-ins:
- A pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth
- Chopped pecans for crunch
- A sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra sweetness
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is heating up, take your 9×13-inch baking dish and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
- Unroll one can of the refrigerated crescent roll dough. Gently press it into the bottom of your prepared baking dish, ensuring you seal any seams to form a solid base.
- In a mixing bowl, carefully combine the softened cream cheese, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and the teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use a hand or stand mixer to blend these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Once your cream cheese mixture is well blended, spread it evenly over the layer of crescent dough in the baking dish. Next, unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and gently place it over the cream cheese filling, ensuring it covers the surface completely.
- Next, take your melted butter and drizzle it evenly over the top layer of dough. Then, in a small bowl, mix together ¼ cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered surface.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the top turns golden brown and the edges become crispy.
- As soon as your cheesecake comes out of the oven, immediately drizzle warm honey generously over the top. Allow the cheesecake to cool for a bit before slicing it into squares.
Notes
Keep the cream cheese at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
