Sopapilla Cheesecake Recipe Introduction Sopapilla cheesecake is a delightful fusion of traditional cheesecake and crispy, sweet sopapillas—a dessert native to Latin American cuisine. This dessert combines layers of crescent roll dough with a rich, creamy cheesecake filling, all dusted with cinnamon and sugar. Minimal ingredients and a simple method make it perfect for a quick but indulgent treat. Ingredients 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls 16 oz cream cheese, softened 1 cup granulated sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar (1/2 cup sugar mixed with 2 tbsp cinnamon) Optional: honey for drizzling Instructions Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or cooking spray. Prepare the bottom layer: Unroll one can of crescent rolls and press it into the bottom of the prepared dish. Ensure the dough is even and slightly pressed into the corners. Make the cheesecake filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
