Sopapilla Cheesecake Dessert? Check. Easy? Check. So freakin’ good they’ll blow your mind? Check. 
My philosophy recently – quick, easy and with a lot of flavor.
But then again, I don’t allow myself get in culinary rut so I always try to make some spin on everyday dishes. But before that, I want to share the news with you. Today our angel woke up and happily hopped in his mother’s belly and decided to show his dad how to kick. Yes, the day has come for both of us to finally feel the first kicks of our baby. 🙂
There are not many things that I want for my child. Health, good direction, good luck in life, to meet great people, a dish which will make him remember his home where he grew up… I wish to him a Sunday brunch that will follow him through life as best memory, I wish carefree late awakening with loud rattling of plates in the dining room. I wish him to love the smell of coffee in the morning although he doesn’t drink it. I wish him life and wish him laughter… OK, OK… As I promised, I won’t bother you too much with my private life and gestational days and I’ll move on to what y’all naturally expect.
I love sweet treats with cream cheese, and one of the dearest to me is this easy sopapilla cheesecake dessert with crescent rolls, rich with cream cheese. So here’s a recipe for all those who don’t like chocolate 🙂 (if there are any) Enjoy!
I hope you love this delicious and easy recipe – be sure to give it a review below!

Hi Sarah, what is a crescent roll
I live in South Africa
Thank you
A crescent roll is a type of canned roll we have. It doesn’t rise as much as canned biscuit. They are primarily made by Pillsbury
Basically croissant dough
Crescent rolls use yeast. Croissants, made by layering butter and dough to produce a flaky pastry. Crescent rolls are triangular shapes of dough that are rolled into a crescent shape with one layer of dough.
This looks wonderful! http://www.bunsinmyoven.com/
It’s in the cinnamon and sugar mixture and honey!
Where is the Sopapilla ?!?
My very first time eating this was the bomb delicious. Thanks for the recipe
Wow. I made a half recipe in an 8×8 pan. I should have never made this. I ate almost the whole thing myself! Its perfect for dessert or breakfast with a cup of coffee. Definitely will make again, maybe I will share. 🙂 Thank you
Here is an easy recepie using Pillsbury Crescent roll
Had this at school, sure was good
Wow this tastes as good as it looks!! We had it warm with vanilla ice cream
Hi! Just wanted to say thanks for posting this! I live on the east coast but my heart is still in New Mexico where we eat sopas all the time! Can’t wait to try this on Saturday!
Thanks Ashley!
My daughter-in law made this for a Mexican party, it was a great hit.
I made this for a New Year’s Eve party and it was a huge hit!
I did add a single egg yolk to the cream cheese mixture to made sure it was thick enough after chilling, and it was.
Thanks!
I going to make it for my husband for Valentine’s dessert
Looks delicious!
I’ve been making this for many, many years. It’s delicious! It is my “go-to” recipe when my family is craving cheesecake, but I just don’t have time to make it. Just a note: Pillsbury also makes Crescent sheets, also in the can, which is great to use because you don’t have to press any seams closed. They are a little hard to find, but I buy them in BJ’s, and the local supermarkets carry them around the holidays. Definitely worth looking for!
Enjoy this delicious recipe!
This recipe is AMAZING! I found this recipe in Sept. and I have made it 4 times! At least 15 people have tried it and they all loved it. I have only changed it once and that was to make it into a pumpkin cheesecake. I just added pumpkin spice to it and did a pumpkin spice sugar mix on top, next week I am doing it again with chocolate chips, pecans and caramel! Great recipe, thank you so much for sharing this!
My hubby and kids love these for breakfast! Made them a few times since Christmas and they are delicious
Hi!
Made it already… Sooo good!
Can I freeze it?
This is an easy recipe to cut in half for a 9 x 9 pan. And so good!
This came out really good. I want to try adding homemade pie filling to it next time. I think that would be really amazing too.
I was thinking the same thing. Some apple pie filling would be awesome.
I added apple pie filling to mine a couple years ago. It was hit! I am considering doing a pumpkin version this Thanksgiving.
Thanks for sharing All Yer recipes.. I will be making this cheesecake for family..KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKS.
My sister use to make this and she put crushed peacons on top with the cinnamon and sugar topping
Hi Sarah! I use Crescent roll dough as my crust for pot pie, top and bottom. I do not prebake the bottom. I have used glass, non stick and aluminum pans and not had sticking issues. Maybe slightly with the aluminum. But the crust comes out delicious.
Very good
Have you ever added egg to the cream cheese mixture? Most cheesecakes have eggs and I wondered if it would be firmer when it cooled if one was added?
This so yummy my son favourite Idid different I baked bottom like mentioned I usually baked it all it did bake
.but it looks fluffier.
