For the crust and filling
  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough 8 ounces each

Notes

Store any leftover Churro Cheesecake Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the bars wrapped in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil for up to 3 months. Make sure to soften the cream cheese for easier mixing and don't skip the cinnamon-sugar topping for added flavor and crunch.
