Sopapilla Cheesecake Dessert

Ingredients

• 3 packages cream cheese , 8 ounce
• 1.5 cups white sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cans crescent roll dough , 8 ounce
• 0.5 cups melted butter
• 0.5 cups white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cups sliced almonds

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. 2

   Beat the cream cheese with 1 1/2 cups of sugar, and the vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Unroll the cans of crescent roll dough, and use a rolling pin to shape the each piece into 9x13 inch rectangles. Press one piece into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture into the baking dish, then cover with the remaining piece of crescent dough.

3. 3

   Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the cheesecake. Stir the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar together with the cinnamon in a small bowl, and sprinkle over the cheesecake along with the almonds.

4. 4

   Bake in the preheated oven until the crescent dough has puffed and turned golden brown, about 45 minutes. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 squares.
