I dust the top with powdered sugar in place of cinnamon and sugar. My family loves this treat.

Make It

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Unroll 1 of the cans of crescent dough. Press onto bottom of greased 13x9-inch baking pan to form crust, firmly pressing seams together to seal.

BEAT cream cheese, vanilla, egg and 1/2 cup of the sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Spread onto crust.

UNROLL remaining can of crescent dough onto large sheet of wax paper. Pat out dough to form 13x9-inch rectangle, pressing seams together to seal. Invert over cream cheese mixture to form top crust; discard wax paper.

BAKE 30 to 35 min. or until golden brown. Combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in small bowl; sprinkle over squares before cutting.

This was so easy and quick! It reminded me of tiramisu...would be great with a layer of chocolate shavings for a little added treat. Delicious!

I had this desert at a Christmas Tea at my church and since that time, I've made it for five different parties and get togethers. I am still being asked for this recipe from each person who has tasted it.

My sister in law discovered these at Christmas. I came online and found the recipe that day and we have made them 4 times since for parties etc. Some love them warm, I love them served ice cold. Yummy!!

Wonderful! I topped it with blueberry pie filling, tasted like a blueberry cheese danish!

I've made this recipe multiple times. Always a hit at parties and potlucks, instead of the cinnamon sugar topping I use the powdered sugar glaze recipe also on this site.

I absolutely love these! They are so easy to make, plus my kids love them too. Buttery crescent rolls work great also!

I used 1/3 less fat cream cheese and low fat crescent rolls and was still a very tasty dessert.

I just have to comment on the ratings this has gotten.for one i dont understand why people made a big deal that it looks different than the picture.they must have never used crescent rolls before.i have yet to see a crescent rise like a cake which apparently they expected.i could tell by the picture they got close to show detail and filling.also some complained about taste but the same ones said they added things not called for or altered how it should have been made.when you do that and its disappointing its not the recipes fault,its the bakers.
