Easy Flaky Cream Cheese Bars with Raspberry Sauce

Ingredients:
2  8oz pkgs of cream cheese
¾ cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
2 rolls of 8 crescent rolls (or buy the ones where they don't separate)
powdered sugar
frozen berries of your choice (I prefer raspberries)


1.  Blend cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg yolk in separate bowl with a mixer until smooth and set aside.
2.  On 9x13” pan (or a smaller cookie sheet if you like a thicker crust) , unroll 1 can of crescent rolls along bottom.  Pinch rolls together until there is no longer perforation.
3.  Spread cream cheese mixture over crescent rolls.
4.  In a separate 9x13” pan, unroll the 2nd crescent rolls on wax paper until smooth and transfer on top of cream cheese mixture as a top crust.
5.  Brush top with egg whites and dust with powdered sugar.
6.  Bake @ 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.  Dust again with powdered sugar once the crust has cooled.
7.  For the sauce, combine frozen berries of your choice with 1/4 cup sugar in a saucepan on low heat until sugar dissolves.  If desired, remove berries with slotted spoon to discard, and serve remaining sauce on the side.

Notes: This is rich, but oh so good!

Recipe is from my friend, Colleen who happens to be an awesome cook.
