Churro Cheesecake Bars
Churro Cheesecake Bars are a cream cheese filling between two layers of crescent roll dough, topped with cinnamon and sugar. They are then baked until golden brown before chilling in the refrigerator until the cheesecake is set. It's like the best of a creamy cheesecake and a churro in one delicious (and addicting) bar!

Ingredients
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 ½ cups (350 g) granulated sugar, divided
- 1 large egg, room temperature, separated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- To a medium bowl, add cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Set aside.
- Roll out a tube of crescent rolls onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish. If using the perforated dough, press the seams together lightly to seal. Crescent roll sheets would also work.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the layer of crescent rolls.
- Roll out the second tube of crescent roll dough over the cream cheese layer. Press the seams together lightly.
- Beat the egg white until frothy. Brush over the top.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining ½ cup of sugar and cinnamon. Evenly sprinkle this mixture over the egg white.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- Once cooled, transfer the baking dish to the refrigerator. Chill the bars for at least 2 hours, up to overnight, before slicing and serving.
- Serve cold.
