Sopapilla Cheesecake, sometimes known as Churro Cheesecake or Mexican Cheesecake, is a sweet cheesecake filling sandwiched between two layers of crescent rolls, and topped with cinnamon sugar for a rich and satisfying dessert.
A while back I ended up with a lot of canned crescent rolls due to a great sale at Costco, so I asked for ideas of what to do with them on our facebook page. One of our awesome readers, Joyce, said I should try sopapilla cheesecake, and Lucy told me that Joyce is a fantastic cook, so I decided to follow her advice.
Sopapilla cheesecake is a really simple recipe, but it has fantastic results. Everyone who tried these loved them!
