Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 can(s) crescent rolls
2 8 oz. bricks cream cheese, softened
1 c whipped peanut butter
2 c sugar, divided
2 Tbsp vanilla extract, divided
1 c strawberry preserves
1 stick butter, melted
2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
3/4 c peanuts, crushed (optional)
non-stick cooking spray

Steps:

  • 1. Unroll 1 can of crescent rolls in a greased 9x13 casserole dish. Using gentle pressure, spread out dough so it covers the bottom and about 1/2" around the sides. Pinch seams together with your fingers until all pieces are sealed. Set aside.
  • 2. Using a mixer on low speed, combine softened cream cheese, peanut butter, half of the sugar and half of the vanilla extract in a large bowl.
  • 3. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent rolls in the casserole dish, leaving about 1/4" around the edges.
  • 4. In a small bowl, mix strawberry preserves with a fork to break up any large pieces. Spread preserves over the cream cheese mixture.
  • 5. Unroll and spread out the second can of crescent rolls over top of the strawberry preserves. Gently tuck edges down along the sides of the dish. Set aside.
  • 6. Melt stick of butter and whisk in second tbsp. of vanilla extract, cinnamon and second cup of sugar.
  • 7. Spread sugar mixture over top of the crescent roll. Bake in 350 degree oven for 50-60 minutes until top is brown and bubbly. If using crushed peanuts, remove during the last 10 minutes of baking and sprinkles nuts over the top.
  • 8. Let cool for 20 minutes then cover with foil and refrigerate for 4-6 hours before serving.

Not a fan. The cheesecake was too dense and the peanut butter and jelly filling was too sweet. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

Easy to make and delicious! The cheesecake was smooth and creamy, and the peanut butter and jelly filling was the perfect combination of sweet and tart. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a hit! The PBJ cheesecake was creamy, flavorful, and had the perfect balance of peanut butter and jelly. I added a chocolate ganache topping and it took the cake to the next level. Will definitely be making this again!
