Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Base: Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the dish, pinching the seams together to create a solid layer.

- Add the Top Layer: Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully place it over the cheesecake filling, pressing the seams together.

- Bake: Bake for 30–35 minutes until the top is golden brown and crisp.
