The amazing cinnamon sugar topping on these Churro Cheesecake bars reminds me of an elephant ear on a cheesecake.

Also known as Cinnamon Cream Cheese Bars, this dessert recipe is so easy to make at home with crescent roll dough and has a layer of cream cheese for extra goodness!

Notes

Let cream cheese soften so it's easier to mix and spread
Sheets of crescent dough
When pouring butter over the top be sure it's spread evenly, we use a basting brush to spread the melted butter around
Ensure there are no pools of butter, keep spreading it out if butter puddles exist - this will make a more uniform looking top crust
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture with your fingers evenly across the melted butter
Store extras in the refrigerator
