These Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars capture all the beloved flavors of traditional sopapillas in an easy-to-make dessert that’s perfect for feeding a crowd. Layers of buttery crescent roll dough sandwich a smooth, vanilla-kissed cream cheese filling, while cinnamon sugar creates that signature sweet, spiced topping. They’re wonderfully simple yet impressively delicious—ideal for potlucks or family gatherings.
If you love this cinnamon-sugar combination, you’ll also enjoy our Cinnamon & Sugar Donut Bread with its similar warm spice appeal. For another cream cheese dessert that’s equally crowd-pleasing, try our Cheesecake Brownies. They offer that same rich, creamy indulgence with a chocolate twist that complements these bars beautifully.
