Ingredients
16ouncescream cheeseroom temperature (2 8-ounce packages)
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar and vanilla on medium-high speed until smooth; about 3 minutes.
Unroll crescent roll dough, and use clean hands to spread the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. If using crescent rolls, gently pinch the perforated seams together to create a sheet of crescent roll dough.
Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture on top. Repeat the process with the remaining can of dough and place the dough sheet on top of the cream cheese layer.
In a medium bowl, use a fork to combine the butter, remaining 3/4 cup sugar and cinnamon until thoroughly combined. Evenly dot the mixture onto the crescent roll dough.
Bake in preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough has puffed and turned golden brown.
Remove from the oven and drizzle with honey. Cool completely in the pan for about 2 hours before cutting into 12 squares. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3 days.
