3. Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg, vanilla, and almond extract (if using) until completely smooth.
Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the crescent layer.
4. Add the Top Layer
Unroll a second can of crescent roll dough and place it over the filling.
Press the seams gently to seal.
5. Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown on top and the filling is set.
Let cool for at least 10–15 minutes before glazing.
6. Make the Glaze
Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Adjust thickness by adding more milk (thinner) or sugar (thicker).
7. Glaze and Serve
Drizzle glaze over the slightly warm casserole.
Top with berries, nuts, or coconut if desired.
Slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips for Success
Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture and richness
Let the casserole cool slightly before glazing so it doesn’t melt off
Want a crispier top? Brush with melted butter and a sprinkle of sugar before baking
Make It Your Own

Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top for a churro-style twist
Swap almond extract for lemon zest for a citrusy kick
