About
Here’s a fusion dessert that has all the fun! Sopapilla Cheesecake has the interior of a creamy, smooth, rich cheesecake. On the outside, the crust is a buttery, flaky sopapilla sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and drizzled with honey and chocolate syrup. In other words, it is impossible to pass up Sopapilla Cheesecake. It’s too delicious to ignore!
Ingredients
- For the cheesecake:
- 24 ounces cream cheese
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent roll dough
- For the topping:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- honey, optional, for drizzling
- chocolate syrup, optional, for drizzling
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees.
Step 2 -Line a 9x13-inch baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 3 -Mix the cream cheese in a mixing bowl and combine until the cream cheese is softened and smooth.
Step 4 -Add in the 3/4 cup of the sugar, the egg, the vanilla extract, and the salt and mix until it is smooth, creamy, and has no lumps, about 3 minutes.
Step 5 -Unroll 1 package of the crescent rolls on the prepared baking tray, creating an even layer. Pinch the seams of the crescent rolls closed.
Step 6 -Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crescent layer, spreading it out evenly over the surface and making sure that there is no crescent roll showing.
Step 7 -Unroll the remaining package of the crescent rolls and stretch it carefully over the filling. You should have something that looks like a large sandwich.
Step 8 -Brush the melted butter all over the top to the crescent roll.
Step 9 -In a smaller mixing bowl, combine together the remaining 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar and the cinnamon.
Step 10 -Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the cheesecake.
Step 11 -Bake the dessert until it is golden brown on top, about 30 minutes.
Step 12 -Allow the cheesecake to cool before chilling the dish in the fridge for at least 2 hours before slicing it.
Step 13 -Serve the cheesecake by drizzling the honey or chocolate syrup over the top and slicing.
