Sopapilla Cheesecake Dessert

Ingredients:

3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 (8 ounce) cans crescent roll dough

1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup sliced almonds

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Beat the cream cheese with 1 1/2 cups sugar and vanilla until smooth.  Unroll the cans of crescent roll dough.  Use a rolling pin to shape each piece into 9X13 inch rectangles.  Press one piece into the bottom of a 9X13 inch baking dish.  Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture onto the dough in the baking dish, then cover with the remaining pice of crescent dough.

Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the cheesecake.  Stir the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, and sprinkle over the top, along with the almonds.

Bake until crescent dough has puffed and turned golden brown: about 45 minutes.  Cool completely in the pan before  cutting into 12 squares.


YUM!
