This Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake combines creamy richness with warm cinnamon notes, creating a decadent dessert ideal for special occasions and festive gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Prepare the crust by combining graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  • Gradually add sugar to the cream cheese, mixing until fully incorporated.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Stir in vanilla, ground cinnamon, and flour until just combined.
  • Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust, smoothing the top.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon to create the swirl mixture.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the swirl mixture over the cheesecake batter and gently swirl with a knife.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
  • Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for an hour.
  • Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Serve topped with whipped cream or a dusting of cinnamon, if desired.
