Churro Cheesecake Bars

 Churro Cheesecake Bars 

Churro cheesecake bars are the best of two desserts rolled into one. The crunchy cinnamon flavour of a churro filled with creamy cheesecake filling. 

1/2 cup sugar 

2 tbsp cinnamon 

2 - 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sugar 

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

2 - 8 oz cans Pillsbury crescent rolls 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  

Combine first amount of sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.  

In a medium size mixing bowl beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the second amount of sugar, egg and vanilla and beat until smooth and creamy. Set aside.  

Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan with non stick spray, then sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly in the bottom of the pan. 

Unroll the dough onto a lightly floured piece of waxed paper and press the seams together. Carefully lift into the pan on top of the cinnamon sugar mixture.  Press to the edges of the pan. 

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on top of the dough. Unroll the second can of dough and roll out the same way as the first one.  Carefully place it on top of the filling. 

Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar on top of the dough. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 30 minutes or until light brown.
