Churro Cheesecake
With only six ingredients you can make this incredible cheesecake. The crisp dough is carefully flavored with cinnamon and vanilla.
Prep Time:10 minutes mins
Cook Time:30 minutes mins
Total Time:40 minutes mins
Servings:15 slices
- 16 ounces crescent rolls 2 8-count packages
- 1 cup granulated sugar divided
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan and set it aside.
Combine ½ cup sugar with the cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle half of this mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan and reserve the remaining half.
Beat the cream cheese until smooth in a large mixing bowl and then add in the egg, vanilla, and the remaining ½ cup sugar. Beat until smooth.
Flour the countertop and unroll one package of the crescent rolls onto the floured surface. Pinch the pre-cut lines together and use a floured rolling pin to flatten it out into the 13x9-inch shape of your baking pan. Then transfer the dough into the prepared baking pan on top of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Pour and spread the cream cheese mixture over the dough.
Unroll the second package of crescent rolls onto the floured surface and again flatten it in order to fit into your pan. Lay on top of the cream cheese filling.
Sprinkle the remaining half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top of the dough and then bake for about 30 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool. Cut into individual slices. Serve and enjoy!
- If you're using unperforated dough (the kind with no precut lines) you don't have to pinch any seams together.
- Drizzle cream, caramel, or chocolate over the churro cheesecake to add typical stuffed churro flavors.
- If you're serving these hot from the oven, you should probably serve them with a fork. Otherwise, they can be eaten with the fingers.
