Ingredients
2 packages refrigerated crescent roll dough
2 cans cherry pie filling
2 blocks (8 oz / 225 g each) cream cheese, softened
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350°F. Lightly grease two baking pans (9×13-inch or similar).
Prepare the Crust
Unroll one package of crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of each pan, sealing any seams to form a smooth crust.
Add the Cream Cheese Layer
Spread the softened cream cheese evenly over the dough in both pans, creating a thick, creamy layer.
Top with Cherries
Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the cream cheese layer in both pans.
Bake
Place the pans in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is set.
Cool and Slice
Let the cheesecake bars cool completely before slicing into squares or bars for clean, neat pieces.
Serving Tip
Serve chilled for a firmer texture, or slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra-indulgent dessert.
Simple, creamy, and irresistibly delicious—these cherry cheesecake bars are proof that less really is more!
