Ingredients
- 2 cans of crescent rolls
- 2 8 ounce packages of cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla (Mexican vanilla, if you have it)
- 1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick)
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (orange juice will also work nicely)
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (orange zest will also work nicely)
Preparation
Step 1
Instructions
Line the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish with 1 can of rolls. The dough can be stretched a bit to cover the bottom of the dish, if you roll it out with a rolling pin the pre cut lines will disappear.
In a medium sized mixing bowl combine cream cheese, 1 1/2 cups of sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Spread this over the layer of crescent rolls in the baking dish. Spread the remaining can of crescent rolls over the cream cheese layer.
Combine 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and 1/2 cup of sugar in a small bowl, mix to combine. Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar over the top layer of crescent rolls and then drizzle all with melted butter. Bake for 30 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
If you really want to send this dessert over the edge, you may want to serve this with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
