Sopapilla Cheesecake

My favorite meal of the day, dessert! If I know there is a great pie or cookie calling my name after I eat my meal, I always make sure to save room for it! Instead of giving great dinner ideas, I figured I’d share some great “after dinner” recipes.

Sopapilla Cheesecake has become one of my favorite desserts that there are no words to describe how amazing it is! A few months ago I had some extra time on my hands one day at work, so I decided it would be a fun idea to have an office Easter egg hunt. I decided to bring the eggs to fill and my other co-workers decided to bring snacks and refreshments after the hunt. This was my first encounter with Sopapilla Cheesecake! You start out with two cans of store bought crescent rolls. Unroll one can of the crescent rolls and place them on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Make sure when you lay the rolls in the pan that there are no spaces in the dish. A helpful hint is to spray the baking dish with cooking spray before hand. In a large mixing bowl, mix together two packages of cream cheese, one tablespoon of vanilla extract, and one and a half cups of sugar. Once the mixture is mixed well, spread it across the top of the crescent rolls. Unroll your second can of crescent rolls and place on top of the cream cheese mixture. In another bowl, mix together a half a cup of sugar and two tablespoons of cinnamon. Melt a stick of butter and spread it on top of the dish and then sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon on top. Bake this at 350 degrees from 30-35 minutes.

Once you try this mouth watering dessert, you’ll understand why I am so in love with this recipe. It was a great hit at my office Easter egg hunt, but there is no rule saying there must be a special occasion for this dessert. Everyone should have the chance to taste this amazing recipe and hopefully you will too.
