A supremely easy dessert bar!
Is there anything a crescent roll can’t do? I mean, they’re great rolled up and baked straight out of the can, but they’re like the chameleon of the storebought dough world. They can hold savory ham and cheese or they can make a most delicious taco app but here they stand in for cheesecake crust in an almost-too-easy dessert that will take you just a handful of ingredients and a few minutes of your time.
