A while back I ended up with a lot of canned crescent rolls due to a great sale at Costco, so I asked for ideas of what to do with them on our facebook page.  One of our awesome readers, Joyce, said I should try sopapilla cheesecake, and Lucy told me that Joyce is a fantastic cook, so I decided to follow her advice.

Sopapilla cheesecake is a really simple recipe, but it has fantastic results.  Everyone who tried these loved them!

For those who don't like cinnamon (my lad), top with vanilla sugar, or 2x cocoa powder to 1x icing (confectioners) sugar or just brown sugar.
