Soapapilla Cheesecake

One of my all-time favorite's made it to another party last Saturday! I knew I wanted to make this delicious treat for a get-together hosted by some friends for a birthday. It was a hit (once again), and realizing that I've never posted the recipe, I didn't want you all to miss out. It's super quick and SUPER yummy!

SOAPAPILLA CHEESECAKE

INGREDIENTS

·         1 (8oz) cream cheese, softened

·         1 cup white sugar

·         1 teaspoon vanilla extract

·         2 (8oz) crescent rolls

·         1/4 cup melted butter

·         1/2 cup white sugar

·         1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

1.      Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2.      Beat the cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar and the vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth; set aside.

3.      Unroll the cans of crescent roll dough and use a rolling pin to shape each sheet into a 9x13 inch rectangle. Press one sheet into the bottom of the 9x13 baking dish.

4.      Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture into the baking dish, then cover with the remaining piece of crescent dough, and brush with melted butter.

5.      Stir together 1/2 cup of sugar with the cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over the top of the cheesecake.

6.      Bake in the preheated oven until the crescent dough has puffed and turned golden brown, about 30-35 minutes. Allow to cool 10+ minutes before serving.

Here's one of the few pictures I snapped while at the party. We were just having too much fun with all the kids, food and drinks to stop and take a picture! That's Peter (the birthday boy) with a hose in one hand and a beer in the other. He's one klassy kat.  :)
