- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Roll Layer:
- 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (with icing)
For Keto Version:
- 2 packages (16 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol)

For Low-Carb Version:
- 2 packages (16 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Step 1: Preparing the Cheesecake Layer In a blender, combine softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Step 2: Assembling the Cinnamon Roll Layer Preheat the oven to the temperature specified on the cinnamon roll dough packaging. Press one can of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough into the bottom of a greased baking dish, creating an even layer.
Step 3: Layering the Cheesecake Mixture Pour the blended cheesecake mixture over the pressed cinnamon roll dough, spreading it evenly.
Step 4: Adding the Second Cinnamon Roll Layer Unroll the second can of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough and place it on top of the cheesecake layer. Gently press the edges to seal the layers together.
Step 5: Baking to Perfection Bake in the preheated oven according to the cinnamon roll dough packaging instructions or until the cheesecake layer is set and the cinnamon roll layer is golden brown.
Step 6: Drizzling with Icing Once baked, remove the bars from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the provided icing or prepare a simple glaze with powdered sugar and milk, and drizzle it over the top.
Step 7: Chilling and Slicing Refrigerate the bars for a few hours or overnight to allow them to fully set. Once chilled, slice into bars and savor the heavenly combination of cheesecake and cinnamon roll layers.
Cook Notes:
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to achieve a smooth and lump-free cheesecake layer.
- For a neater presentation, use a knife dipped in warm water to ease slicing.
