Pinterest is my new best friend. The ideas are endlist. A lot of people joke about how Pinterest contributes to hours and hours of mindless surfing without ever really accomplishing anything. I am proud to say…that’s not me. My list of “have to try’s” is growing longer and longer.
Neufchatel cheese is usually found close to regular cream cheese. It tastes extremely similar to cream cheese with 1/3 less fat. I had some filling leftover but I could’ve used it all. I chose to go thin.
Sopapilla Cheesecake (from myellowumbrella)
Ingredients
- 2 cans of crescent rolls
- 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
- 8 ounces of Neufchatel cheese, softened
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- Cinnamon and sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix both cheeses, sugar and vanilla until smooth (I suggest a hand mixer). Unroll and spread 1 can of the crescent rolls as the bottom layer on an ungreased baking sheet. I used my hands and fingers for this. Spread filling mixture to the edges. Unroll and spread the second can of crescent rolls as the top layer and lay on top of the mixture. Spread melted butter over the top and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until golden brown.
