Churro Cheesecake

A delightful dessert that combines the crispy goodness of churros with the creamy richness of cheesecake.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • Two 8-ounce packages refrigerated crescent roll dough or sheets
  • 16 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and lay it in a greased 9-inch pie dish or springform pan, pressing down to cover the bottom and edges, sealing any seams.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, ¾ cup granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
  5. Mix the ½ cup of sugar with the ground cinnamon and sprinkle it evenly over the cheesecake filling.
  6. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the filling is set.
  7. Allow the cheesecake to cool slightly before drizzling with melted butter and sprinkling more cinnamon sugar on top.
  8. Chill the cheesecake in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Make sure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. Don’t skip the chilling step for better flavor and texture.
