Step-by-Step Instructions for Churro Cheesecake
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the crescent roll dough layer. Use a spatula for a smooth finish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the dough is golden brown and the filling is set and puffy.
- Let the Churro Cheesecake cool in the dish for at least 15 minutes, then chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours.
- Once chilled, sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar and serve. Optionally, add fresh strawberries or caramel on top.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling. Do not overmix to avoid cracks in the cheesecake.
