  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil and coat with cooking spray.
  • Unroll 1 crescent roll dough; press into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, stretching to the edges.
  • Mix together lemon juice and 3/4 of the lemon zest in a large bowl. Beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar into juice-zest mixture with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; spread over crescent roll dough in the baking dish.
  • Unroll remaining crescent roll dough and place over cream cheese mixture, stretching to the edges. Brush melted butter on top. Mix together 3 tablespoons sugar and remaining lemon zest in a small bowl; sprinkle over melted butter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes.
  • Lift dessert from the baking dish using foil; transfer to a cutting board. Cut into squares, leaving on foil. Return dessert to the baking dish and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
