Step-by-Step Instructions for Churro Cheesecake

In a small bowl, combine ½ cup of granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon. Mix well.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Unroll one can of crescent roll dough on a greased baking dish and bake for about 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
Pour the cheesecake filling evenly over the baked crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until edges are set and the center jiggles slightly.
Allow to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Sprinkle additional cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top before serving. Cut into squares and enjoy!
