Ingredients

• 2 cans Reduced-fat crescent roll dough
• 16 oz Reduced-fat cream cheese (softened)
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tbsp Low-calorie powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

Unroll one can of reduced-fat crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pinch the seams together to create a uniform base layer.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened reduced-fat cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent dough base using a spatula.

Step 5

Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully place it over the cream cheese layer, pinching the seams together to form a solid top layer.

Step 6

Brush the melted unsalted butter evenly over the top crescent layer and sprinkle it with ground cinnamon for a warm flavor.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up for clean slices.

Step 9

Optional: Dust the top with low-calorie powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness before slicing into 12 bars.

Step 10

Serve chilled and enjoy your lightened-up cheesecake crescent bars!
