Description

These Blender Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Bars combine the rich, creamy texture of cheesecake with the warm, comforting flavors of cinnamon rolls. Featuring a buttery graham cracker crust, a smooth cinnamon-spiced cheesecake layer, and a sweet cinnamon swirl topped with a vanilla glaze, these bars are a perfect dessert for any occasion.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Layer

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to easily lift out the bars later.
  2. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture is evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even layer. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden, then set aside to cool completely.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Layer: In a blender or food processor, blend the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Pour this cheesecake batter over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  4. Add the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Drizzle this mixture over the cheesecake layer in the pan. Using a knife or toothpick, swirl the cinnamon mixture through the cheesecake layer to create a marbled effect.
  5. Bake the Bars: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheesecake layer is set and the edges turn lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan to room temperature.
  6. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk (start with 1 tablespoon and add more if needed for drizzling consistency), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  7. Glaze and Serve: Once the bars are fully cooled, drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the top. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan and place on a cutting board. Cut into 12 squares and serve.

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and let it soften to room temperature before blending.
  • You can adjust the milk quantity in the glaze to get your desired drizzle thickness.
  • Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • These bars can also be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
  • Make sure the crust is cooled before adding the cheesecake layer to prevent cracks.
