When Christmas season rolls around, nothing’s better than the smell of cinnamon sugar wafting through the house. Takes me back to my childhood every time. My mom always made homemade goodies like gingerbread men for the holidays, and I have fond memories of helping her in the kitchen.
Now I love baking even more than she did! I have several classic recipes that are favorites, but it’s always fun to experiment. These churro cheesecake bars are a fun combination of two classic desserts. My family was thrilled with the result!
Churro Cheesecake Bars
The crunchy cinnamony goodness of a churro filled with a tangy cream cheese filling. The best of two desserts rolled into one!

Ingredients
1/2 cup sugar
2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 (8 oz) cans Pillsbury crescent dinner rolls
Instructions
Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 2 Tbsp cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
Beat the cream cheese till smooth. Add the sugar, egg, and vanilla and beat till smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Spray a 9x13" pan with non-stick spray, then sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly in the bottom of the pan.
Unroll the dough onto a lightly floured piece of waxed paper and press all the seams together. Carefully lift into the pan on top of the cinnamon sugar. Press to the edges of the pan.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough. Unroll the second can of dough and roll it out the same way as the first one. Place it on top of the filling.
Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar on top of the dough. Bake at 350° for about 30 minutes or until light brown.
