The Perfect Marriage
Today’s recipe is a marriage of two favorites – our favorite Mexican dessert (Churros) and an American classic – cheesecake! The result are these delicious, cinnamon-y Churro Cheesecake Bars that are a show stopper (we cannot bring them to a function without getting recipe requests!) We use simple ingredients like a buttery crescent roll crust as a tasty shortcut and top it off with plenty of cinnamon and sugar. The result is a fun dessert, perfect for pairing with your favorite Mexican dinner ideas.
Ingredients
PREP TIME: 5 minutes BAKE TIME: 30 minutes
Cinnamon Sugar Mixture
½ cup sugar 2 tablespoons cinnamon – For a more complex flavor add a little nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar or add a combination of cloves, allspice, and ground ginger.
Filling
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened – Softened cream cheese will become fluffier when beaten, which helps create that traditional cheesecake texture. ½ cup sugar 1 egg – Room temperature egg will be best incorporated with the other ingredients. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – For the best flavor, use 100% pure vanilla extract.
Crust
2 (8-ounce) cans Pillsbury crescent dough sheets – or use crescent rolls, unrolled with the seams pressed together.
