Step-by-Step Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to get started. Make sure to gather all your ingredients before diving in!
  • Blend the cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl to create a smooth, creamy mix that's simply irresistible.
  • Unroll the crescent roll dough, and shape each sheet into a 9x13-inch rectangle using a rolling pin, ensuring they're ready to embrace the filling.
  • Press one of the prepared dough sheets into the bottom of your greased baking dish for a perfect foundation.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, creating the base layer of our flavorful pie.
  • Gently cover with the remaining crescent dough, completing the crust of this wonderful dessert.
  • Using a fork, mix together the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar, butter, and cinnamon until it forms a crumbly topping.
  • Scatter the sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly across the top layer of dough, dotting as you go to ensure a flavorful bite.
  • Pop it into the preheated oven until the dough puffs and takes on a golden hue, around 30 minutes. Once done, drizzle with honey post-baking for that extra touch. Let it completely cool in the pan for about 2 hours before cutting it into squares, and then, enjoy!

Notes

This Mexican-inspired cheesecake is simple to make and perfect for gatherings. It combines flaky crescent rolls with a creamy, cinnamony filling. Chill in the fridge before serving to make slicing easier.
