Sopapilla [Churro] Cheesecake Bars

PEOPLE OF THE INTERNET, listen to mee! These Sopapilla [Churro] Cheesecake Bars are INSANE. Treat yo’self and go make a batch. This cinnamon sugar/churro style cheesecake bar has the perfect creamy center and golden crescent crust. They’re dangerously easy to make and even easier to eat. Plus, they hold well in the fridge, so they’re great to make for a get together in advance.

My first encounter with Sopapilla [Churro] Cheesecake Bars was because of my sister, Tina. She brought a leftover batch she whipped up. I stole all of them, drizzled caramel on top and called them my own. ????

Enjoy!
