This is super easy to make. It can be used as a dessert or a breakfast treat.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This easy recipe combines two of our favorite treats - cinnamon rolls and cheesecake - into the ultimate dessert. Cinnamon rolls on the bottom make a yummy base for a thick and creamy cheesecake layer. The buttery crescent roll layer on top creates a sugary cinnamon crust. Rich and decadent, this is easy to prepare and easy to eat! We discarded the icing from the cinnamon rolls, but they could easily be drizzled on top for even more decadence.
