Description

Indulge in the ultimate dessert experience with this Decadent Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake. Creamy cheesecake swirled with a cinnamon-infused mixture, all set on a graham cracker crust and topped with a sweet glaze.


Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

For the cinnamon swirl:

  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

For the cheesecake filling:

  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream

For the glaze:

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 12 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the pan and bake for 10 minutes.
  3. Make the cinnamon swirl: Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and melted butter in a bowl.
  4. Prepare the filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, eggs, vanilla, and sour cream.
  5. Layer and bake: Pour half of the batter over the crust. Drizzle half the cinnamon mixture, swirl, and repeat. Bake for 55–65 minutes.
  6. Cool and chill: Let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door cracked, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  7. Glaze and serve: Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for the glaze. Drizzle over the chilled cheesecake before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra-decadent finish, top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
  • Be sure all ingredients are at room temperature to avoid lumps.
