Churro Cheesecake Bars Recipe

This dessert is also sometimes called Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars. For the true Sopapilla experience, drizzle some honey over them before enjoying. 

Here is what you’ll need to get started:

• REFIRGERATED CRESCENT ROLLS – You’ll want the kind that rolls out into a sheet. 
• CREAM CHEESE – Softened to room temperature. I would not use low fat cream cheese in this recipe. 
• GRANULATED SUGAR – You’ll be adding this to your cream cheese and your cinnamon topping. 
• VANILLA – We always recommend using a high quality vanilla extract for any dessert. 
• BUTTER – Melted. You can use salted or unsalted. Whichever you prefer. 
• GROUND CINNAMON – Combined with our sugar, it will be our topping. 

Churro Cheesecake Instructions

1. SPREAD DOUGH – Spray the pan with baking spray and spread the first layer of crescent dough out.
2. MAKE AND SPREAD CHESECAKE LAYER – Combine your cream cheese, vanilla and sugar. Spread that on your layer of crescent roll dough.
3. ADD SECOND LAYER OF DOUGH – Add your second layer of dough and spread melted butter on top.
4. SPRINKLE WITH CINNAMON SUGAR AND BAKE – Combine the rest of your sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top. Bake for 30 minutes. Make sure to refrigerate for 4 hours before slicing.

Storage and Freezing

Store leftover Churro Cheesecake Bars in an airtight container in your refrigerator. They should be good in your fridge for about 4 days. 

Technically, you CAN freeze Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars. I’d definitely use parchment paper between the slices to keep them from sticking. Upon thawing, there is a good chance that your pastry layer may get soggy. So, we aren’t sure that freezing is the best idea. 

Notes, Tips and FAQs

1. DO YOU NEED TO USE CRESCENT ROLL DOUGH? – You can really get a way with any refrigerated dough. It will still taste fine. You can even try using puff pastry dough. 
2. ADD TOPPINGS – Before enjoying, top you Cheesecake Bars with a drizzle of honey, chocolate, caramel sauce or strawberry syrup. A dollop of whipped cream would be yummy too!
3. ADD FRUIT – Some people like to add a layer of pie filling to their cream cheese mixture. Try using Apple, Strawberry or Cherry Pie Filling. During the Fall, Pumpkin Pie Filling would be perfect!
4. MAKE SURE YOU SOFTEN CREAM CHEESE – It is imperative that you soften the cream cheese before combining it. Don’t forget to do this.
