Churro Cheesecake

Print Recipe

A delightful dessert that combines the warm cinnamon flavor of churros with a rich cream cheese filling, all wrapped in a crisp crescent roll crust.

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 the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the baking pan.
  2. Unroll crescent dough and press it into the bottom of the pan to form an even crust.
  3. Bake the crust alone for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and cool slightly.
  4. In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  5. Add ¾ cup granulated sugar, the egg, and vanilla. Mix until creamy and even.
  6. Spread the cream cheese filling over the baked crust evenly.
  7. Bake the filled pan for 20–25 minutes, until the filling is set in the center.
  8. While it bakes, mix ½ cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
  9. Brush the top of the warm cheesecake with the melted butter.
  10. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mix over the buttered top so it sticks.
  11. Cool on a rack, then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.
