SOPAIPILLA CHEESECAKE

Filed Under Desserts
Ingredients
2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
2 (8 oz.) tubes refrigerated crescent dinner rolls (Pillsbury brand)
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup cinnamon sugar

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 baking. Unroll one package of refrigerated crescent rolls. Line the bottom of the pan and flatten, pinching seams together as you go. In a medium bowl, add together the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Beat well with an electric mixer until smooth. Spread cream cheese mixture over the crescent rolls. Unroll the other can of crescent rolls and place on top of cream cheese mixture. Pour one stick of melted butter over the top and sprinkle with about 1/2 cup of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Allow to cool, eat at room temperature or serve chilled. Refrigerate any leftovers.

Let's Dish
I know, this isn't really anything like sopaipillas, or cheesecake, but put it all together and that's what it tastes like! And it is so very good.  I like it at room temperature (maybe even slightly warm) but the rest of my family preffers it chilled.  Just like traditional sopaipillas, it's even better with a little drizzle of honey.

  5. You're right, this isn't a real sopaililla or is it a cheeecake, but the flavors are so good together. Honey is a must. They're more like cheesecake bars.
