The Best Sopapilla Cheesecake Bar Recipe

Sometimes, simple recipes are the best. With only few ingredients you can make miracle in the kitchen. So are you looking for a recipe to impress unexpected guests or satisfy your sudden sugar cravings? Or are you looking for the perfect dessert to bring to a pot luck or a party? Look no more! These sopapilla cheesecake bars are a new twist on traditional desserts that will blow your mind. Sopapillas and cheesecake were always meant to be together. This recipe is truly a match made in heaven.

 

Flaky dough with sugar and cinnamon and super yummy cheese filling with a hint of lemon, what not to love? It can be eaten warm with ice cream or chilled.

Choice is completely yours. 🙂

And preparation is almost effortless. No need to cook the cream cheese filling. Just zest the lemons and mix it with cream cheese and sugar.

 

And then, just pour the filing over stretched store-bought crescent dough, cover with other half of dough and bake. 

 

 

It is done in no time!

 

My only advice is, make a double batch!

       Looks and sounds delicious, but there is NO way that is a 13×9″ pan in the demo … if I had to guess I’d say it a 9×6″ .

     Hi Julie,
     Thank you for your interest and thank you for taking the time to comment. |Yes, amounts of cheese, sugar, butter and crescent dough are the same like in other recipes that can be find on internet (from Mommy’s kitchen to Pillsbury site)
     But if you read carefully you will see that my recipe has one BIG difference. 🙂
