I made this today for lunch and it was gone in no time. I did make some adjustments. I halved this recipe and baked it in a 8x8 it was done at 25 mins. I also used reducded fat cresecent rolls, fat free cream cheese and splenda. I also added 1tsp of cinnamon to the cheesecake filling. I didn't use the butter on top but instead sprayed with butter flavored pam. With all the adjustments I made it was still delicious. Thanks for the recipe!

I made a downscaled version of this recipe. I used only 1 pack of crescent rolls. It ended up making four sopapillas, but because they were so sweet I cut them into halves making 8 servings. I loved the flavor. Quick and Easy. Thanks for the recipe.

I wouldn't suggest putting the 1st layer in the oven while you make the filling. I did as a reviewer suggested with not so good results. The filling mixture was very hard to spread on the warm and mushy bottom layer. I also think 2 packages of cream cheese is more than enough for the 9x13in pan. I wouldn't suggest a whole teaspoon of almond extract either. I used just that and found the almond extract to be a bit over powering for me. In all this was a good recipe and I didn't have any complaints . Thanks for sharing.

Very good recipe. I made each crescent an individual sopapilla by putting one spoon of filling in the middle. Then I folded each into a little pouch by bringing the two larger corners together over the filling and wrapping third narrow corner over then around. I also required less cream cheese this way...about one 8 oz. package per 16 crescents. Wonderful recipe I made it for my speech class of 30.

I made these for my picky daughter who usu loves sopapillas. She didn't like them at all--they "had no honey and tasted like cheesecake" (which she doesn't like-the skinny wench!)...HOWEVER, my husband and son devoured the whole pan in less than 24 hours! I used reduced fat products and will probably reduce the amount of butter next time. So if you are looking for a true Tex-mex sopapilla, look on...BUT if you are looking for a quick, easy, super gooey cheese-cinnamony filled treat, try this-- you won't be disappointed. Thanks for posting!

This is an extremely easy recipe and was the most popular dessert I served over the holidays. So easy to keep the ingredients on hand and prep and baking times are quick. Here's the mood-buster, though. Just wanted everyone to know that ONE SERVING of this yummy treat is close to 8 - 10 Weight Watcher points depending on the size of your serving. So, we Weight Watchers need to keep this recipe for when we know that it will all get eaten and we won't be tempted to finish what's left!!!

I love dessert. I've made it several times, changing it to suit my tastes at the time. I've with it with canned apple pie filling; peaches, or bananas. Try it with dates and walnuts.You just can't go wrong! So simple, plus easy to have the ingredients on hand because they keep in the refrigerator so long.

I was all set to post this delectable recipe myself, when I found it already posted. So here is my review, instead. I had the good fortune of tasting this at a Christmas party and believe me, I wasn't leaving until I had my hands on the recipe!! I decided to make this using the low-fat crescent rolls, low-fat cream cheese and the Splenda-Sugar Blend for Baking. It turned out perfectly, puffy and delicious w/o the added fat and calories. Cheesecake lovers - this is a must try!! These little wonders just melt in your mouth! Thanks for sharing this recipe, Peace!

These were gone within 20 minutes while the others were hardly touched. All the girls want my recipe now... :O THANKS!
