Description

Churro Cheesecake combines the crispy, cinnamon-sugar goodness of churros with the creamy, tangy flavor of cheesecake. Made with crescent roll dough, velvety cream cheese filling, and a generous cinnamon-sugar topping, this dessert is the perfect fusion of two beloved classics. Enjoy it slightly warm for a gooey center or chilled for a firm texture. Ideal for parties, gatherings, or a sweet treat at home!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans crescent roll dough (Pillsbury or gluten-free alternative)
  • 2 packages (8 oz each) full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • Caramel sauce or chocolate drizzle (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Baking Dish

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or a thin layer of butter.
  • Create the Bottom Crust

    • Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
    • Pinch the seams together to create a smooth, even layer.
  • Make the Cream Cheese Filling

    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
    • Add ½ cup of sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined.
    • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom layer of crescent roll dough.
  • Add the Top Layer

    • Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and place it over the cream cheese layer.
    • Press lightly to seal the edges and cover the filling completely.
  • Cinnamon Sugar Topping

    • In a small bowl, mix the remaining ½ cup of sugar with the ground cinnamon.
    • Brush the top layer with melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the entire surface.
  • Bake to Perfection

    • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
    • Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
  • Serve and Enjoy

    • Slice into squares and serve warm or chilled.
    • Drizzle with caramel sauce or chocolate for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Tip: Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest, creamiest filling.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing: Freeze without toppings for up to 3 months.
  • Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5-10 minutes to refresh the crispy crust.
  • Variations: Try mini churro cheesecake bites or churro cheesecake bars for a fun twist.
