Easy? Check. So freakin’ good they’ll blow your mind? Check.
Maybe I keep saying this, but it’s true- put a plate of these out at a party, and don’t tell anyone they’re vegan… NO ONE will ever suspect. The Sopa is made out of Pillsbury crescent roll dough, so it’s got that yummy almost buttery flavor going on. The cream cheese filling tastes exactly like cheesecake, only softer. So creamy, so good. The cinnamon sugar on top makes it pretty AND gives it that extra layer of flavor.
These took me about 10 minutes to throw together, and then they baked for another 20. Almost as soon as they went in the oven they started filling the house with their fabulous scent. I’ll be bringing these to my next holiday party, you can count on it!
The filling is so sweet and creamy and cheesecake-y!
And lest we forget the rich, buttery crust…
And please, before anyone tries to drop some knowledge on us, Pillsbury Crescent Rolls are vegan. Deal with it.
Vegan Cheesecake Sopapillas
Ingredients
- 2 cans Pillsbury crescent dough sheet is best, rolls will also work
- 8 oz vegan cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 tbsp vegan butter melted
- cinnamon + sugar for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Roll the dough from one can out as thin as you can, big enough to cover an un-greased cookie sheet. If you’re using Pillsbury rolls (instead of a sheet), pinch the seams together.
- Stir the cream cheese and sugar together in a small bowl then spread evenly over the dough. Top with the remaining dough (also rolled out). Brush the melted butter on then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the dough is starting to brown, then the same you would if making the crescent rolls. Let cool for a few minutes before you slice into squares or triangles.

OMG! Crescent rolls are vegan?!? Why has no one told me this until now? I just presumed they weren’t.
Cinnamon, cream cheese, and crescent rolls… I’m drooling 🙂
These look so good, and so easy! Best of both (vegan) worlds!
Cream cheese is not vegan.
Vegan cream cheese actually is vegan… But it’s nice to know we have non-vegan readers visiting the site!
Do you recommend these be served warm or chilled?
We ate them warm when they first came out of the oven, but after that I think we ate them cold- they were good both ways!
Do you know of a good substitute for the crescent rolls?
I just googled “crescent roll recipe vegan” and got quite a few hits, so you can definitely make your own- I haven’t tried though so I can’t really recommend a particular recipe. If you find one that you love, please share!
