Cream Cheese Croissant Dessert


I am not normally a fan of desserts...i'd generally rather have the main course twice. However, you can add cream cheese to just about anything and i would gladly eat it! This was given to me by a friend at work and has become a go-to recipe when i need something for carry-ins. It's good warm, cold, room temperature, by itself or smothered in a light fruit topping. I want to try it with fat free cream cheese and splenda but haven't yet. If you do, let me know how it turns out!!

Steps


Preheat overn to 350 degrees.
Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish.
Open and unroll one package of croissants and lay at the bottom of the pan.
In a bowl , mix cream cheese , sugar , vanilla and egg yolk until smooth.
Spread mixture on top of croissant.
Open the second package of croissants , unroll and lay on top of cream cheese mixture.
Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Immediately after baking , brush the top with egg white and sprinkly with remaining sugar.
I sometimes add a little cinnamon to the top as well.
