  • Total Time1 hour

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Base:

  • 1 can Refrigerated crescent roll dough (Typically 8 rolls; unroll and press to cover the dish)

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz Cream cheese Soften to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 large Egg (At room temperature)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare the Base:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough into the dish, pressing the seams together to form an even, continuous layer that covers the bottom.

Make the Cheesecake Filling:

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using), and continue to beat until the mixture is well combined.

Assemble and Bake:

  1. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the crescent roll base in the prepared dish.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crescent roll edges are golden brown.
  3. Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool in the dish for about 10 minutes.

Garnish and Serve:

  1. Dust lightly with powdered sugar and top with fresh berries if desired.
  2. Cut into squares and serve warm for a comforting, decadent dessert.

Notes

  • For an extra indulgent touch, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of fruit sauce.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is well softened for a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • This casserole is best enjoyed warm but can be served at room temperature. Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed chilled.
  • Feel free to experiment with adding a swirl of fruit compote into the cheesecake filling before baking for a fruity variation.

Enjoy your Cheesecake Crescent Rolls Casserole—a simple yet decadent dessert that brings together flaky pastry and creamy cheesecake in one irresistible dish!
