churro cheesecake

Churro Cheesecake bars are quick and luscious. These have a flakey crispy base, creamy center and topped with cinnamon and sugar, divine!

Churro Cheesecake

Pillsbury Crescent Dinner Rolls (I used the butter flake kind)

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

vanilla

egg (slightly beaten)

sugar (divided)

Tbsp cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Using a hand mixer or a kitchenaid, beat together the cream cheese, vanilla, partially beaten egg, and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth.

Mix together the rest of the sugar (1/2 cup) and 2 tablespoons cinnamon. Set aside.

Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray and sprinkle 1/4 cup (or half) of your cinnamon sugar mixture evenly into the bottom of the 9x13.

On a piece of parchment paper, roll out your crescent dinner roll dough into a big 9x13 square and press the seams together so the dough is completely sealed. Set the dough in the bottom of your 9x13 baking dish on top of the cinnamon sugar.

Spread the cheesecake evenly on top of your dough and unroll the other can of crescent dough and place on top also making sure that the seams are completely sealed.

Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/4 cup of cinnamon sugar mixture and bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

This churro cheesecake recipe combines a simple crust made with Maria cookies, creamy cheesecake filling and a flaky crust topped with cinnamon sugar.

Maria cookies (1 package or 34 cookies)

sugar

unsalted butter, melted

cinnamon

oz full fat cream cheese,

egg,

vanilla extract

8-oz tube Pillsbury crescent rolls

unsalted butter,

Prep your tools

Preheat your oven to 350F. Line a 9&#215;13 glass baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving a generous overhang on either end so that you can lift the cheesecake out of the pan later. Spray with PAM and set aside.

Make the cinnamon sugar

In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.

Make the cookie crumb base

Place the cookies in your food processor and pulse until the cookies resemble breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and cinnamon, then pulse a few times to blend. Pour the melted butter over the crumbs, then pulse until the butter has been worked in. You should have a cookie crumb mixture that looks moist and sticks together when you press it with your fingers.

Add crumbs to the prepared baking dish

Remove the blade and scrape down the sides of your food processor with a spatula. Transfer the cookie crumbs to your prepared 9&#215;13 baking dish. Spread them out to cover the bottom of the pan.

Form the crust

Using your spatula or the back of a metal spoon, firmly but gently press the crumbs down. Don&#8217;t press so hard that you crumble the crust. You just want to press down enough for the crumbs to stick together. Go along the edges of the pan to make sure the edges are pressed too. Set aside.

Add some of the cinnamon sugar

Sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the crust.

Make the cheesecake filling

In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla. Using the paddle attachment or a large whisk attachment if using a hand-held mixer, beat the ingredients until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a clean spatula.

Add the filling to the baking dish

Pour the cream cheese mixture on top of the cookie crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Make the top crust

Remove the cresent roll dough from the tube and spread it out on a clean surface. Press the seams together so that the dough forms one rectangular piece. Carefully transfer to your baking dish, placing the dough over the cheesecake filling. Arrange the dough so that it covers the filling completely.

Add butter and cinnamon sugar

Spread the melted and cooled butter on top of the dough with a pastry brush or a metal spoon. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar on top.

Bake

Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the crescent dough crust has puffed up and is golden.

Cool

Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature.

Chill

Cover the cheesecake with saran wrap and place it in the fridge to chill overnight.

Serve

What&#039;s better than a churro? Churro flavored cheesecake! This incredible recipe is made with only 7 ingredients and it comes together in minutes. It&#039;s flavored with lots of cinnamon sugar, a buttery flaky crust, and sweet and tangy cream cheese filling.

Churro Cheesecake Bars

Two 8-oz packages refrigerated crescent roll dough

oz full fat cream cheese (softened)

unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)

see note for optional toppings

Combine cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.

Cinnamon sugar:

Preheat oven to 350°F with a rack in the middle of the oven. Grease a 9x13 baking pan and sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar in the bottom.

Open one tube of crescent rolls. Unroll the dough and press the seams together to form one rectangular piece. Place into the bottom of the prepared 9x13 baking pan, it should cover the whole bottom of the pan.

Combine cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla, beating until smooth and well combined. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust and spread into an even layer.

Using the second tube of crescent roll dough, unroll and press the seams together (just like you did with the first one) and place it over the cream cheese layer. It should cover the cream cheese completely.

Pour melted butter over the top and spread it into an even layer (I use the back of a spoon). Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar.

Bake for 26-30 minutes, until the crescent dough has puffed and is golden brown. Place on a wire rack to cool completely, then transfer to the fridge until chilled. Once chilled, cut and serve.
