Ingredients
  

2 cans of crescent rolls

16 oz cream cheese, softened at room temperature

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

3 large eggs, at room temperature

1 cup sour cream

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure it's hot and ready for your casserole.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.

      Add the eggs to the cream cheese mixture, one at a time. Ensure to mix thoroughly after each addition until fully combined. Next, incorporate the sour cream and ground cinnamon, mixing until everything is well blended and creamy.

        Open both cans of crescent rolls and unroll them on a clean surface. Gently press the rolls into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish to cover the bottom fully. Pinch the seams together to create a cohesive layer, ensuring no gaps remain.

          Carefully pour half of the cheesecake filling over the crescent roll base, spreading it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon to cover the dough completely.

            Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and place it over the cheesecake layer, gently pressing it down. Now, pour the remaining cheesecake mixture on top, again spreading it evenly to ensure full coverage.

              Place the baking dish in your preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. The casserole should be golden brown on top and set in the center when done.

                Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes to let the flavors set before slicing. If desired, dust the top lightly with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.

                  - Preparationszeit: 15 Minuten | Gesamtzeit: 50 Minuten | Portionen: 8-10

                    - Presentation Tips: Serve warm or at room temperature, slicing into squares and garnishing each piece with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and perhaps a few fresh berries for a pop of color. Enjoy the delightful combination of flaky pastry and creamy cheesecake!
