For an extra burst of lemon flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of lemon extract to the filling. If you don't have parchment paper, grease the baking pan well to prevent sticking. Feel free to experiment with other citrus flavors, such as lime or orange, for a unique twist. Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
StepUnroll both pieces of crescent dough. Lay one piece on the bottom of the prepared pan, gently pressing to cover the base. Set the second piece aside. (5 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup white sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Mix in the lemon pie filling, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined. (10 minutes)
04
StepPour the lemon cheesecake filling evenly over the crescent dough in the baking pan. Carefully cover with the second piece of crescent dough, gently pressing to seal the edges. (5 minutes)
05
StepPour the melted butter evenly over the top layer of dough and sprinkle with the remaining white sugar. (2 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven until golden brown, approximately 25 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. (25 minutes)
07
StepRemove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes. Then, chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set properly. (3 hours)
08
StepBefore serving, dust generously with confectioners' sugar. Cut into 24 bars and serve chilled. (5 minutes)
