INGREDIENTS

  • Base

    • Cooking spray
    • 2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent roll dough

  • Filling

    • 🍋 2 lemons, zested and juiced
    • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
    • 🍚 ½ cup white sugar

  • Topping

    • 🧈 2 tablespoons butter, melted

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil and coat with cooking spray.

2

Unroll 1 crescent roll dough; press into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, stretching to the edges.

3

Mix together lemon juice and 3/4 of the lemon zest in a large bowl. Beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar into juice-zest mixture with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; spread over crescent roll dough in the baking dish.

4

Unroll remaining crescent roll dough and place over cream cheese mixture, stretching to the edges. Brush melted butter on top. Mix together 3 tablespoons sugar and remaining lemon zest in a small bowl; sprinkle over melted butter.

5

Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes.

6

Lift dessert from the baking dish using foil; transfer to a cutting board. Cut into squares, leaving on foil. Return dessert to the baking dish and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
