Store bought crescent roll dough works as the flaky/buttery crust mimicking the texture of churro dough.
A combination of melted butter, granulated sugar, and cinnamon create a topping that is sweet and a little crunchy just like the outside of a churro.
A simple sweetened cream cheese filling adds a bit of tang and smooth and creamy cheesecake center.
Begin by opening one 8oz tube of crescent rolls. Unroll the dough and press the seams together to form one rectangular piece. Place into the bottom of a greased 9×13 baking pan.
Combine cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla, beating until smooth and well combined. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust and spread into an even layer.
Using the second tube of crescent roll dough, unroll and press the seams together (just like you did with the first one) and place it over the cream cheese layer. It should cover the cream cheese completely.
