Traditionally a pillow-shaped deep-fried dough, sopapillas are cousins to puff pastry and often topped with cinnamon sugar. Naturally, it follows that sopapilla and cheesecake are a match made in heaven: crispy, sweet dough sandwiching creamy, smooth cheesecake filling is a combination that can't be beaten. The best part? We use the store-bought crescent dough to make this a painless dessert to make.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons Cinnamon sugar
1 tablespoon Melted butter
8 ounces Refrigerated Crescent rolls
Pinch kosher salt

1/4 c. Sour cream

04

05

Bake until crescent is golden and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
