This one is from Hip2Save and it's TO DIE FOR! My family was full of "mmm's" and groans during dessert tonight! Definitely give this a try! It tastes like a cinnamon roll with lots of cream cheese icing!
2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 squeeze of lemon juice (optional)
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch pan.
2. Press one can of the crescent rolls into the bottom of the prepared pan.
3. In a medium bowl, use a handheld mixer or stand mixer to mix the cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy. Spread evenly over the crescent layer.
4. Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and lay them on top of the cream cheese layer. Do not press down.
5. Pour the melted butter over the entire pan. Combine the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over the top.
6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is crisp and golden. Let completely cool and then cut into squares to serve.
