    We cooked for the 30 minutes and then chilled but the bottom layer of dough was still pretty raw when we cut into it. We tossed it back in the oven for another 15 and that was good.
    Next time we’d try baking the bottom separately until 1/2 baked and then adding filling

      Sounds like maybe the bottom of your oven doesn’t cook as hot as mine, so prebaking is a great idea!

    This is an Amazing Kreation, Kara!!!! Thank you! I’ve tweaked it with lemon/orange zest on the lower roll layer, the filling (add a teaspoon of maple extract!), and dices of guave paste (1/8”) sprinkled prior to sealing with the top layer of paper. Elevates the texture & flavor profile… Couldn’t have done it without You!!! You Rock!!!!🤘🏾💕🙏🏾🫶🏾

    These were delish but I felt like my filling didn’t seem as thick as yours. Not in texture but in size. I almost want to add another bar of cream cheese next time. Do you think that will affect baking time?

      January 5, 2024

      Adding another bar of cream cheese would change the baking time slightly, but it would also change the flavor and texture. If you want a thicker filling, it would probably be better to double all of the filling ingredients and adjust the baking time.

    I made these and I think the ration of cinnamon to sugar is off. It should be 2 tsp of cinnamon. Using the measurements the recipe called for made my bars look black on top/burned looking. I also add a half a stick of melted butter on top of the sugar mixture.

      The amount of cinnamon is correct, 2 tablespoons. But if you added butter to the top, that will definitely make the top appear black. Wet cinnamon sugar is much darker than dry cinnamon sugar. The butter will also make it brown faster.

    My friends and I had a potluck favorites night and instead of bringing cheesecake and churros, I decided why not bring two in one! This recipe was such a hit! We have been renovating our kitchen for the last few months, new cabinets, countertops, dumpster rental in the driveway, the whole sha-bang, so I needed an easy dessert. I will be making this again and again! Thank you!

    Made this for the first time today. I just have to say it turned out awesome. I just cut the sides (crust) off when it was done (saved the crusts for later, almost reminds me of the actual churros) to give it that clean aesthetic look. If you’re like me and prefer harder cream cheese, 30 mins in the fridge will do it. Thank you for sharing this!

    Made this tonight and it failed for two reasons. 1 – definitely baker error, I forgot to add the additional sugar with the cream cheese. 2 – there was no “cheesecake” center when it was done baking, if all soaked into the crescent dough. Could be the missing sugar 🤷‍♀️ I will try again

      It will probably still be tasty even without the vanilla, it just boosts the flavor a bit. But with cinnamon recipes, the cinnamon is powerful enough on its own that they are still good even if it gets left out. 🙂

      If the filling wasn’t as thick and they were dry and tough, it sounds like maybe your pan was too big. Did you use a 9×13″ pan, or was it slightly larger?

    Kettering, looks to me like you don’t travel much out of this country or your own state. I am Mecican/Native American and live in AZ. Where you can find wome of the most amazing cream cheese filled churros, or nutella l, condense milk perhaps or rich chocolate. Also I live by the border, where in 20 min you can find yourself eating churros from a street cart, and you can have them plain or filled…guess what? With cheese cake filling, along with all the other stuff I mentioned before. We have a traditional Mexican recipe very similar to this one, and it’s called sopapilla.
    Anyway, to the awesome lady that shared her recipe, thank you, it’s delicious and amazing. Would make again for Christmas.

    So you don’t like churros much.

    This is more like German streuselkuchen. It looks like it, and sounds like it tastes pretty similar and the eating experience is similar. It doesn’t look anything like churros, and doesn’t sound it tastes like churros, or that the mouthfeel is like churros. I have never even heard of anyone eating churros with cheesecake filling or anything creamy like that.

    So totally my fault for not reading to the bottom but in the intro when list the ingredients needed it would of been neat to see a times 2 by the cream cheese and crescent rolls. Its okay though cause it worked itself out…we don’t need 15 servings for my husband and I so I’m using one cream cheese and one crescent and making a half sized tonight so I will be back to tell how it went not because anyone cares but because I literally just began cooking and I excited easily.

    I posted a picture of my halved recipe.. these really are good. I’d probably bake them the whole 30 min next time.. my think being that they wouldn’t need to bake as long because of the 8×8 pan. I’d like a crispy bottom as well!
    I made them for my son! He’d better hurry to the pan!
