Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cans (8 ounces/226 grams each) crescent roll dough
- 16 ounces (454 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
Dairy and Liquid Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters/2 ounces) sour cream
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350°F and coat a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray for optimal non-stick performance.
- Create a velvety cream cheese mixture by blending cream cheese and sour cream until completely smooth and uniform.
- Gradually incorporate sugar into the cream cheese blend, whipping until the texture becomes light and airy.
- Introduce eggs individually, thoroughly mixing after each addition to ensure a consistent, creamy base.
- Enhance the mixture with lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt, stirring until perfectly integrated.
- Gently fold in flour, stirring until the batter achieves a smooth, homogeneous consistency.
- Carefully unroll the first crescent roll dough, maintaining its rectangular shape, and press evenly into the prepared baking pan’s bottom.
- Distribute the cheesecake filling uniformly across the dough layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Unfurl the second crescent roll dough and delicately place it atop the filling, creating a complete top layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown surface and firm filling.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature.
- Finish by dusting with powdered sugar and cutting into elegant serving portions.
Notes
- Swap out full-fat cream cheese for low-fat or Greek yogurt to create a lighter, healthier version of this decadent dessert.
- Prevent soggy bottoms by patting crescent roll dough with paper towels to remove excess moisture before laying in the pan.
- For gluten-free adaptation, use gluten-free crescent roll dough or replace with almond flour-based pastry to maintain a similar texture.
- Enhance flavor complexity by adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or zest of orange into the cheesecake filling for unexpected depth and warmth.
