Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cans (8 oz. each) crescent roll dough
- 16 oz. cream cheese
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
Supporting Ingredients:
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish and Seasoning:
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- Powdered sugar
- Flour (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray, ensuring complete coverage for easy removal.
- Grab a large mixing bowl and beat 16 oz. softened cream cheese and ¼ cup sour cream until silky smooth. Add 1 cup granulated sugar and whip until light and airy.
- Crack 2 large eggs into the mixture, blending thoroughly after each one. Pour in 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup all-purpose flour into the cream cheese blend. Mix gently until ingredients are completely integrated.
- Carefully unroll first crescent roll dough can, keeping it as one rectangular sheet. Press the dough firmly into the bottom of prepared pan, creating an even base.
- Spread entire cheesecake mixture across the dough layer, distributing it uniformly with a spatula.
- Unroll second crescent roll dough can and delicately place over the filling, creating a complete top layer.
- Transfer pan to preheated oven and bake for exactly 30 minutes. Look for a golden-brown surface and set filling as your doneness indicators.
- Remove from oven and allow complete cooling at room temperature. Dust generously with powdered sugar before slicing into desired serving portions.
Notes
- Check your cream cheese and sour cream temperatures before mixing to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling.
- Press the crescent roll dough gently into the pan to create an even base without tearing the delicate layers.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular crescent roll dough with a gluten-free alternative and use gluten-free flour in the filling.
- Chill the cheesecake crescent rolls completely before cutting to get clean, neat slices that hold their shape perfectly.
