Pillow-shaped fried pieces of dough, sopapillas are pretty perfect all on their own. The only thing that could possibly make them better? Adding in creamy, tangy cheesecake. These sopapilla cheesecake bars are a match made in heaven: crispy, sweet dough sandwiching a smooth cheesecake filling is a combination that can’t be beat. The best part? I’m using store-bought crescent dough, making this best-of-both-worlds treat even easier. So skip the fryer—make these bars instead for Cinco de Mayo, or anytime you’re craving an easy dessert in under an hour.
These bars are great on their own, but if you’re looking for the ultimate upgrade, top them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Make it homemade if you’re feeling fancy, or grab one of our favorite vanilla ice cream brands.
If you have any leftovers, store them in the fridge for around 3-4 days.
