Step-by-Step Instructions for Churro Cheesecake
  1. In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Stir until combined and fragrant, then set aside.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough onto a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Press the seams to form an even layer.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together 16 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  4. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the crescent roll dough layer. Use a spatula for a smooth finish.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the dough is golden brown and the filling is set and puffy.
  6. Let the Churro Cheesecake cool in the dish for at least 15 minutes, then chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours.
  7. Once chilled, sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar and serve. Optionally, add fresh strawberries or caramel on top.
