Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough 8 oz each
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar divided
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • Honey optional, for drizzle

Equipment

  • 1 9x13-inch baking dish
  • 1 Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Spatula
  • Measuring Cups & Spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Unroll one can of crescent dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the dish, pinching seams together.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, ¾ cup sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent dough base.
  5. Unroll the second can of crescent dough and place it over the cream cheese layer.
  6. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with remaining ¼ cup sugar and cinnamon. Pour over the top layer, spreading evenly.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
  8. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
  9. Drizzle with honey (optional), slice into squares, and serve warm or chilled.

Notes

  • Best served slightly warm for gooey texture, or chilled overnight for clean slices.
  • Add fruit toppings like strawberries or blueberries for extra freshness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
