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.
