Dessert
Churro Cheesecake
By: Claudia Regalado
My churro cheesecake is a holiday favorite that brings together all the flavors you love — a buttery, cinnamon-spiced churro crust, a rich and creamy cheesecake filling made with Tillamook cream cheese, and a cinnamon-sugar topping that adds the perfect sweet crunch.
55MINserves 8-12
Ingredients
1⁄2cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
4 tbsp Tillamook Extra Creamy Salted Butter, melted
2-8 oz crescent roll dough sheets
16 oz softened Tillamook Cream Cheese
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
1⁄4cup sour cream
2 tsp Mexican vanilla blend or vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
2 tbsp all-purpose flour (optional)
2 large eggs
Serve with Dulce de leche, hazelnut spread, or sweetened condensed milk (optional toppings)
Fresh berries or pecans (optional topping)
Whipped cream (optional topping)
Preheat oven to 350°F
Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Sprinkle half the cinnamon sugar on the bottom, then place one puff pastry sheet on top.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
Add sour cream, vanilla, salt, and flour.
Beat in eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the pastry sheet, then place the second pastry sheet on top. Brush with butter or cooking spray and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar on top.
Bake 45 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate overnight.
Run a knife around the edges, slice, and serve. Optional toppings: dulce de leche, hazelnut spread, sweetened condensed milk, berries, pecans, or whipped cream.
