EASY SOPAPILLA CHEESECAKE BARS
I absolutely love the sopapillas. Sopapillas are basically light and fluffy fried dough that's been rolled in cinnamon sugar. They are amazingly delicious when drizzled with honey! Around here we jokingly call them sofa pillows. My Grandma actually made these when she visited us years ago and I've been making them her way ever since!
TIPS FOR MAKING THESE SOPAPILLA CHEESECAKE BARS:
- If you can find the crescent roll dough sheets, they will be a lot easier to use here since you won't have to push the seams together.
- For a richer flavor, try using a combination of white and brown sugar.
- Try serving these with a little honey or chocolate or strawberry syrup drizzled on top!
- Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a maximum of 3 days.
- Leftovers can also be frozen but the texture of the crescent roll dough might be a bit soggy once they defrost.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
refrigerated crescent rolls (or crescent roll dough sheets)
cream cheese
sugar
vanilla extract
for the topping:
salted butter
sugar
cinnamon
HOW TO MAKE SOPAPILLA CHEESECAKE BARS:
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray (I like the kind that has flour in it.) Unroll one tube of crescent rolls and layer in bottom of pan, pressing seams together.
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until blended.
Spread cream cheese mixture over bottom layer of crescent rolls.
Layer remaining crescent rolls on top. Drizzle with melted butter. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
Bake, uncovered for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown. Cut into 12 squares. And serve.

Canned biscuits make very easy and great tasting donuts.

Using cake mixes and pre-made biscuits, then adding to them to change up what you make is the best tip I use. Would love to win the cookbook :)...imdarlene@msn.com
I rarely use a whole onion, so I chop up the whole onion and store it in my freezer in old baby food containers...perfect!!
Hello, please enter me into your giveaway! =] I love cookbooks! I'm not that good at cooking yet though... But with more books it shouldn't take me too long! =]
Ella,
I use cake mixes to make dump cakes, everything is just dumped into the cake pan. I roll out biscuits to make hot pockets. I also chop up my onions and green peppers and freeze for later use. I buy the chopped bacon from the salad bar at the grocery store. It is precooked and chopped and I can get about 2 cups for $1.00. I keep it frozen in the freezer, ready to use.
I love anything that can help me cut the amount of time I am in the kitchen making dinner , dessert or appetizers. This looks like it would be quite the help in that manner.

Love that recipe - looks so good! I try to do most things homemade but I'm all for learning shortcuts. I posted your giveaway on our Facebook group - The Cookbook Junkies!
I'm all about shortcuts. Mr. Food is a big food inspiration for me. And my mom's way of cooking often involved easy store-bought items that she would "doctor up." Would love to see what this cookbook has to offer. 🙂
I separate my ground meats into appx. 1 pound balls and put them into freezer baggies. Then I get all of the air out of the baggies and smash the balls flat. This makes the meat easier to store and defrosting a thin layer is SO much easier than a hunk of meat!!! I can take out a pound of meat and be ready to cook it in less than 15 minutes. A must-have trick in a house with an 11 year old who is involved in everything under the sun and a mom who is a full-time college student! Regardless of whether I win or not, I hope this helps someone out there!!!
I'm 74 years old and bake quite a bit. Recently, I remembered what we did in Home Ec when I was young. Thatis, to get all the ingredients out and line them upon the counter befor I start to bake and I don't have to keep running back and forth to get anything. Also, I use Rachael Ray's garbage bowl, which saves a lot of time.
I can't think of shortcuts at the moment. But I'd love to win this cookbook! I collect these Gooseberry book almost everything I cook and bake comes from this!
This is a great looking recipeI love Goosberry books they are awesome would love to add this one to my collection.

When cooking hamburger or sausage and you want tiny crumbles, add a cup or so of water when cooking. Makes it easier to make very fine crumbles.
I love simple shortcuts in the kitchen! As a working mother of four young kids, this recipe book will come in super handy on those stressed out evenings wondering what to cook for my family!
Jessybells@msn.com
I can use the cookbook to help me spend more time with my family! The cookbook looks like it has amazing receipes that my family will love! Thanks for all that you do.
As busy as I am with working a full time job here at home, with all the extra hours I work, I could definately use a shortcut cookbook! Please enter me in the contest. Love the recipe!
