Cream Cheese Filling:

  • 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.
  2. Create the bottom layer:
    Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pinch seams to seal.
  3. Make the filling:
    In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Spread the filling:
    Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the bottom crescent roll layer.
  5. Top layer:
    Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and gently place it on top of the cream cheese layer. Press lightly to smooth.
  6. Add topping:
    Pour melted butter over the top. In a small bowl, mix the 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle it evenly over the buttered top.
  7. Bake:
    Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly set in the center.
  8. Cool & chill:
    Let cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing into squares.
  9. Serve & enjoy!
    Best served chilled or at room temperature.
