Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg

For the Topping:

  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Optional: caramel or chocolate drizzle

Instructions & Methods

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare Pan

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9-inch springform pan lightly with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2: Make the Crust

  1. Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the springform pan, sealing the seams to form an even layer.
  2. Mix the ½ cup sugar with 1 tbsp cinnamon and sprinkle it evenly over the dough.
  3. Bake the crust for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Step 3: Prepare Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Add 1 cup sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Beat until creamy and combined.
  3. Add the egg and mix until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing.

Step 4: Assemble and Bake

  1. Pour the cheesecake filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.
  2. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
  3. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Step 5: Make the Topping

  1. Mix ¼ cup sugar with 1 tsp cinnamon.
  2. Brush the chilled cheesecake lightly with melted butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top.
  3. Optional: drizzle caramel or chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy

  1. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
  2. Slice into generous wedges and serve. Watch your friends and family savor the creamy, crunchy perfection.

History & Formation

Cheesecake dates back to ancient Greece, originally made with simple ingredients like cheese, flour, and honey. The churro, believed to have originated in Spain or Portugal, became popular as a sweet, deep-fried treat coated in cinnamon sugar. Combining these two beloved desserts is a modern twist that fuses the creamy indulgence of cheesecake with the crunchy, cinnamon-sprinkled delight of churros — a formation that perfectly balances texture and flavor.

Conclusion

This Churro Cheesecake is a guaranteed showstopper for any party. It’s easy to make, looks stunning, and tastes like a bakery masterpiece. Every bite gives you that dreamy creaminess and that sweet, cinnamony crunch that makes everyone go back for seconds — and thirds.
