How to Make Creamy Cheesecake Crescent Roll Casserole

2. Prepare the Crescent Roll Base: Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and spread it evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, pressing the seams together to form a crust.
3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the eggs and mix until fully incorporated.
4. Spread the Filling: Pour the cheesecake filling over the crescent roll crust in the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
5. Top with Crescent Rolls: Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and layer it over the cheesecake filling, pinching the seams together to seal.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve warm or chilled, topped with fresh fruit, chocolate sauce, or whipped cream if desired.

Tips

• Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier.
• Don’t Overmix: Mix until just combined to keep the filling light and fluffy.

Substitutions and Variations

• Different Flavors: Add lemon or almond extract for a unique twist on the cheesecake flavor.
• Fruit Variations: Mix in fresh berries or chocolate chips to the cheesecake filling for added flavor.

Make a Healthier Version

• Use reduced-fat cream cheese and sugar substitutes for a lighter filling.
• Substitute some of the crescent roll dough with whole wheat dough for added fiber.
