I love the sopapillas very much. Sopapillas are fried dough that has been rolled in cinnamon sugar and then fried. When honey is drizzled on them, they taste amazing. Around here, we call them “sofa pillows” in jest. When my grandmother came to visit us years ago, she made these, and I've been making them her way ever since!
Crescent roll dough, cream cheese, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter are the ingredients for an easy Sopapilla Cheesecake. A simple dessert that tastes great!
I love those recipes that we all grew up with because they are just too good to give up.
Easy and simple! My whole family really likes this recipe. If I had to make this every day for them, I would. You'll love it if you try it. You'll need the following things to make this recipe:
Ingredients
- 2 (8oz.) packs of Pillsbury crescent rolls
- 2 (8oz.) packs of cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ cup butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.
- Press a can of the crescent rolls to the bottom of the dish, making sure to reach the edges and keep them together.
- bake the first layer of crescent roll dough till just done maybe 5-8 minutes. (Optional, that way I make sure it is done. I don’t like raw dough)
- Combine softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla.
- Spread mixture over crescent rolls.
- Roll the remaining crescent roll over the top and stretch to the edges and seal.
- Brush across the entire top of the crescent roll with the melted butter.
- Sprinkle the top with 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and 4 tablespoons of sugar
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Eat warm (it will be a hot mess!) or let it cool and chill for several hours before serving.
- I prefer the chilled version so I store mine in the fridge,
- Slice into bars and serve.
Enjoy!
