Chelsea LawheadIngredients
- 1 8oz can of crescent rolls
- 2 8oz blocks of cream cheese
- 1 Egg
- 1 1/4 cup, divided Sugar
- 1 tbsp Ground cinnamon
Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 350F Mix 1/2 cup of sugar with 1 tbsp of cinnamon. Sprinkle 2 tbsp of this cinnamon sugar mixture onto the bottom of an 8×8 baking dish.
- 2Roll out the crescent dough, and place half of the dough onto the baking pan over the cinnamon sugar mixture. Press the seams together and press the dough along the sides of the pan.
- 3In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Then add the remaining 3/4 of sugar and mix until combined, then beat in the egg.
- 4Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crescent dough. Sprinkle 1 tbsp of cinnamon sugar over the cream cheese layer, then top with the remaining crescent dough. You may have to roll out the crescent dough to get full coverage. Sprinkle remaining cinnamon sugar over the crescent dough.
- 5Bake for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours before cutting and serving.

Open in Pepper →Dessert You Can Cut Into Squares
A pan of bars is the easiest dessert to hand around. No layers, no frosting to fuss with — just bake, chill, and cut into squares that travel to work, church, or the kitchen counter.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection when they need something for a potluck, a birthday at the office, or a Sunday afternoon when the kids want something sweet in the house.
Every recipe here is a bar you slice from one pan: Churro Cheesecake Bars made with crescent rolls, Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars in a 9x13, Oreo Cheesecake Bars, Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars, Banana Pudding Cheesecake Bars on a Nilla wafer crust, and Carrot Cake Bars with a cream cheese swirl.
Quick Tips
- 1
Line the pan with parchment
Leave 2 inches hanging over two sides so you can lift the whole slab out and cut it on a board instead of digging squares out of the pan.
- 2
Soften the cream cheese
Set two 8-ounce blocks on the counter for 45 minutes before mixing, or the filling stays lumpy no matter how long you beat it.
- 3
Chill before slicing
Cheesecake bars need at least 4 hours in the fridge, and overnight is better, or the centers smear when the knife goes through.
- 4
Wipe the knife each cut
Run a long knife under hot water, dry it, and wipe it clean after every slice for clean edges on all 12 or 16 bars.
