Description
A rich and creamy cheesecake infused with the delightful flavors of cinnamon rolls, perfect for dessert lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and beat until well combined.
- Mix in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and sour cream. Finally, add the flour and mix until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon swirl mixture.
- Pour half of the cream cheese mixture into the prepared crust, then sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture on top. Repeat this layering process, finishing with the cream cheese filling.
- Using a knife or a skewer, gently swirl through the cheesecake to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes and then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
- Once chilled, carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan. Cut into slices and serve.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.
- For a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can increase the amount of ground cinnamon.
- This cheesecake can be made a day in advance for better flavor.
