easy
12 servings
Servings4
24 oz cream cheese
2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls (16 oz total)
1 3/4 cup plain yogurt, sour cream, or coconut cream
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup sweetener of choice
2 1/2 tbsp cornstarch, or 5 tbsp almond flour
3 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup sugar or granulated erythritol

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.

1

Roll out crescent dough. Place one of the sheets on the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan.

2

Preheat oven to 350 F.

3

With a food processor or hand mixer, blend the cream cheese, yogurt, cornstarch, vanilla, and sweetener until completely smooth.

4

Spread evenly into the pan.

5

Carefully place the remaining crescent roll sheet on top. (It's okay if the sheet falls apart! Press back together as much as you can.)

6

Spread butter on top, sprinkle on the cinnamon sugar, and bake for 25 minutes.

7

Without opening the oven, turn off the heat and let sit in the closed oven for an additional 10 minutes.

8

Let cool completely before cutting. Refrigerate the pan (once it’s cooled) for a few hours, or loosely covered with a towel overnight, because the bars firm up considerably once cooled.
