2 (8 oz) pkgs cream cheese

1 c. sugar

1 tsp. vanilla or lemon extract

In a medium bowl, cream together sugar, vanilla, and cream cheese until very smooth. Pour over the bottom crust, smoothing with a spatula to make even. Top cream mixture with the second can of rolls (pressed together as before) making sure the dough goes to the edge of the pan. Melt butter and pour over the dough and cream cheese.
