Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars

What’s that? More Mexican?

Shocking.

I’m sorry. Maybe we should rename this blog Bollos en el horno? (I used google translate for that. Strangely enough, the only Spanish I seem to know is taco, quesadilla, carnita, empanada, and so on and so forth.)

This is the first Mexcian dessert I’ve shared, though. However, I’m prettttttttty sure that this is not super authentic. I mean, sure, it’s totally possible that traditional Mexican sopapillas are made from a tube of crescent roll dough, but you know? Probably not.

I was a bit worried about this recipe. It’s just a handful of ingredients that everyone should have around at all times anyway. There aren’t even any eggs in the cheesecake layer. Also, crescent rolls and cheesecake? Is this real life?

It all worked, though. It worked quite well, in fact.

Simple, quick, and shockingly good. I love those types of desserts.
