Ingredients:
- Cooking spray
- 2 packages of refrigerated crescent roll dough (such as Pillsbury(R) Recipe Creations(R)), divided
- Zest and juice of 2 lemons, divided
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
Directions:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil and generously coat it with cooking spray.
Take one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, ensuring it stretches to the edges.
In a bowl, combine the zest of 1 1/2 lemons and juice from 2 lemons. Using an electric mixer, blend the lemon zest mixture with softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until achieving a smooth and creamy consistency. Spread this delightful mixture over the layer of crescent roll dough.
Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough, layering it over the cream cheese mixture and gently stretching the dough to reach the edges. Brush the top layer with the melted butter.
In another bowl, mix the remaining lemon zest and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Sprinkle this zesty sugar mixture over the buttered crescent roll dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes or until the top turns a golden brown. Allow the dessert to cool for about 20 minutes. Lift it from the baking dish using the foil, transfer to a cutting board, and cut into delectable squares. Place the cut squares back into the baking dish and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
