My Heart's Desire

Sopapilla Cheesecake has officially been added to my must-make-often list!

We had dinner company recently, and my friend, Ashley O'Leary, brought this dessert. Let's just say I've made it twice in the last three weeks! John David and I call it "the giant cinnamon roll"...with cream cheese heaven in the middle! It is actually very similar in taste to a New Orleans King Cake, so you know it has to be good! Not to mention, it is super simple to put together.

Sopapilla Cheesecake

1 1/2 cups sugar, divided

2 t. ground cinnamon

2 cans crescent rolls (keep refrigerated until ready to use)

3- 8oz blocks cream cheese, room temperature

1 t. vanilla

1 stick butter

In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar with cinnamon. Set aside.

In mixer, combine 1 cup sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla. Mixture should be a nice spreadable consistency.

Spray a 9x13 baking dish with Pam. Roll out 1 can of crescent rolls into dish. It should fit perfectly in the 9x13 pan, as shown above.

Spread cream cheese mixture onto entire surface of rolled-out crescent rolls.

Roll second can of crescent rolls out atop the cream cheese mixture, as shown above.

Melt butter and pour over all.

Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over entire surface.

Bake at 350 degrees for 27 minutes.

Allow Sopapilla Cheesecake to cool completely before cutting into squares for serving.

Store leftovers in fridge. Microwave refrigerated pieces for a few seconds to serve.

Enjoy!

After last week's posts of the Conversation Hearts Tree and my Love One Another Mantel, I want to show you one more easy and inexpensive way to decorate with conversation hearts!

Trusty hurricane vases! These are filled year-round at our house with just about everything! See them filled for Thanksgiving HERE, Easter HERE, and a similar set filled for Fall, HERE.

A simple bow and white candle brings these all together!

Do you decorate with conversation hearts? If so, how? Share with us in the comments!

Have a great Wednesday!
