Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars

🍰 Desserts

Crescent-dough cheesecake bars dusted in cinnamon sugar, the potluck legend. Rustic, crisp-edged and comforting — the dessert that empties the table quietly. A slice of sharp cheese alongside is old-school and excellent.

Prep 44 min Cook 49 min Serves 6 Medium

Ingredients

  • Butter3 tbsp
  • Salt1/2 tsp
  • All-Purpose Flour2 cups
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Wheat Flour3 cups
  • Cream Cheese2 cups, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cube the cold butter and return it to the fridge while you measure the rest.

  2. 2

    Cut the cold butter through the flour, drizzle in ice water, and gather the dough without kneading.

  3. 3

    Rest the dough, wrapped, in the fridge for at least thirty minutes — relaxed dough will not shrink.

  4. 4

    Work the cream cheese and wheat flour into the dough, folding gently for even distribution.

  5. 5

    Bake until the crust is browned and the filling bubbles at the vents, 35-50 minutes, then rest twenty minutes.

Chef's tip

Resting a custard or pudding overnight deepens the flavour and sets a cleaner slice.
