Cheesecake Crescent Rolls Casserole with Berry Compote
Servings: 8
Ingredients
2 cans of crescent roll dough
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mixed berry compote
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mixed berry compote
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the dish, sealing any seams.
In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the dough in the dish.
Add a layer of mixed berry compote on top of the cream cheese layer.
Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and place it over the berry layer, pressing the edges to seal.
Pour melted butter over the top of the dough.
In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup sugar with ground cinnamon and sprinkle over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the filling is set.
Let it cool slightly before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a different flavor profile, try using a different fruit compote such as cherry or apple. You can also add a handful of chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the top for a crunchy texture. If you have picky eaters, consider serving the berry compote on the side so everyone can customize their own piece. For a lower-sugar option, use a sugar substitute in the cream cheese mixture and opt for a sugar-free berry compote.
