- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar mixture
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven

Step 4: Spread Evenly On Dough
- Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the dough. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly across the cheese layer.
Step 5: Use Second Dough Can
- Unroll the second can of dough, placing it over the first layer. Pour melted butter on top and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture evenly.
Step 6: Bake
- Bake for about 30 minutes or until light brown and the center is set.
Step 7: Allow to Sit and Refrigerate
- Once baked to golden brown perfection, allow the cheesecake to cool on a rack, and then transfer it to the fridge for about 30 minutes to set. This will make the cream cheese layer firm for easier slicing and serving.
Step 8: Serve

Notes
- This churro cheesecake bar recipe is a delightful twist on the recipe card classic. It's particularly suited for the cooler months when warm spices and comforting texture are most appreciated.
- For a quick and easy experience, set aside 15 mins for the dessert to come to room temperature before enjoying it. This step helps in enhancing the flavors, making each bite a perfect blend of tangy and sweet.
