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

What You Need

cans (8 oz. each) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls, divided

pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

tsp. vanilla

egg, slightly beaten

3/4

cup sugar, divided

Tbsp. ground cinnamon

Enjoy serving MAXWELL HOUSE coffee with this delicious recipe.

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 recipe tasted excellent, I would give it a five star rating on taste. On appearance though, this recipe earned a three star becuase they are not as thick as they appear in the picture, but don't let the look foll you-they are delicious! Everybody asked for the recipe!

They didn't really turn out like the picture at all-and I did use the 10oz cans of crescents as others suggested. They were pretty thin and flat looking. The cream cheese filling was tasty, I added lemon zest and frozen blueberries-mmmm. You do need to eat them right away or the bottom crust becomes very soggy.

We loved this recipe. I made it different the second time. Instead of using crescent rolls. I used yellow cake mix. I mix my cake mix with only 1 egg, 1 tsp. vanilla flavor,and a stick of melted butter. Patted by hand in the pan. Crust higher on edge. It Was Great. We love trying new things. I will keep making this recipe too.

Instead of sugar I used sugar substitute and found that there is no difference in taste.

I made this recipe with puff pastry. Also, brushed top layer with milk, then sprinkled the cinnamon sugar on top before baking. Baked required number of minutes until top was brown and crispy. My guests loved it and said they would make it for their guests. Anne

Good, but I wish the topping had been a little crunchier. Try crescent rolls next time with strawberry cream cheese and walnts. Yum!!!

I took this receipe with me camping and was made for a Sunday morning departure. Everyone raved about it and could not believe that I have put it together in such a short time. I will be making more for the holidays.

The first time I made it I used strawberry cream cheese and the second time I made it I used pineapple cream cheese. Both worked out very well.

I have gotten rave reviews from people who have tried this! This is not too sweet but just right for a brunch.
