Churro Cheesecake

I don’t even think this needs an introduction because the name says it all! Such an easy quick dessert to make, you could even whip it up tonight for dessert. Recipe below!

Ingredients

• 2 cans (oz. each) Pillsbury Crescent Dinner Rolls (I used the butter flake kind)
• 2 pkg. (8 oz. each) Cream Cheese, softened
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 1 cup sugar, divided
• 2 Tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Beat together the cream cheese, vanilla, partially beaten egg, and ½ cup sugar until smooth.
2. Mix together the rest of the sugar (1/2 cup) and 2 tablespoons cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray and sprinkle ¼ cup (or half) of your cinnamon sugar mixture evenly into the bottom of the 9×13.
4. On a piece of parchment paper, roll out your crescent dinner roll dough into a big 9×13 square and press the seams together so the dough is completely sealed. Set the dough in the bottom of your 9×13 baking dish on top of the cinnamon sugar.
5. Spread the cheesecake evenly on top of your dough and unroll the other can of crescent dough and place on top also making sure that the seams are completely sealed.
6. Sprinkle the top with the remaining ¼ cup of cinnamon sugar mixture and bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

I served this at a party yesterday and it was a hit! It was still delicious today when I had another piece. Very easy, doesn’t take a lot of time at all.

Enjoy!!

Cinnamon Twists

It has been hard finding recipes I want to try lately, but this one definitely caught my eye and knew I needed to try it. It is easy, a bit messy while making, but absolutely delicious! Recipe below.

Ingredients:

Pillsbury Breadsticks (I couldn’t find them so I used just the Pillsbury dough and cut it into strips)

2/3 cup of sugar

1.5 cups of cinnamon

3 tablespoons butter

Directions:

1. Melt the butter in a bowl

2. Mix cinnamon and sugar

3. Take your strips of dough or breadsticks and dip them in the bowl of butter. Then roll the strip in the cinnamon sugar mixture

4. Twist strip and place on baking sheet

5. Bake on 375 degrees for 12-14 minutes

Side note: make sure you have all ingredients before starting. Big thank you to Judy for letting me borrow some sugar!

You can also make cream cheese frosting to dip the twists. These were so good and took no time at all to make. If you are in a rush and need quick sweet snack, you can easily make these.

Enjoy!!
