How to make: SOPAPILLA CHEESECAKE BARS

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds a subtle flavor.

honey

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: maple syrup

Agave syrup is a lower-glycemic sweetener.

Preheat oven to 350F degrees.

Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray (I like the kind that has flour in it).

Unroll one tube of crescent rolls and layer in bottom of pan, pressing seams together (unless you are using the crescent roll dough sheets).

In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract until blended.

Spread cream cheese mixture over bottom layer of crescent rolls.

Layer remaining crescent rolls on top, pressing seams together (again, not necessary when using crescent roll dough sheets).

Drizzle the top with melted butter.

Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes, until light golden brown.
