Churro Cheesecake Bars

Ingredients:

For the Churro Coating:

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

For the Cheesecake Filling:

- 16 oz cream cheese, softened (full fat recommended)

- 1 egg

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

For the Crust:

- 2 cans Pillsbury crescent dinner rolls

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. Unroll one can of crescent dinner rolls and press the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the bottom crust.

3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add egg, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar, and continue to beat until creamy and well combined.

4. Pour the cheesecake filling over the bottom crescent roll crust in the baking dish, spreading it evenly.

5. Unroll the second can of crescent dinner rolls and place the dough on top of the cheesecake filling to form the top crust.

6. In a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the churro coating. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the top crescent roll crust.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the churro coating is golden and crispy.

8. Allow the Churro Cheesecake Bars to cool completely before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to chill.

9. Once chilled, store the Churro Cheesecake Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be stored for up to 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
