Sopapilla Cheesecake

This one is just in time for Thanksgiving!

When using a friend's recipe, I always cross my fingers that it tastes and looks as good as their's. Alison, thanks so much for sharing and I think these tasty morsels would make you proud!

Sopapilla Cheesecake:

Ingredients:

3 (8 oz) pkg. cream cheese, softened

2 pkg. crescent rolls

1 1/2 c of sugar

1 tsp vanilla

Topping:

1 stick of butter, melted

1/2 c. of sugar

2 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

Unroll 1 pkg. of crescent rolls in the bottom of a greased 13x9 pan

Whip cream cheese, sugar and vanilla and spread over crescent rolls

Top with second pkg of crescent rolls

Pour melted butter over crescent rolls and top with cinnamon and sugar mixture.

Bake at 350 for 30 mins.

I actually let mine cool for a while to make it easier to cut and serve.

Review:
