Ingredients
Scale
- Cinnamon Roll Dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 16 oz (450g) Cream Cheese
- 1 cup (240g) Sour Cream
- 1 cup (200g) Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) Brown Sugar
- 2 tsp (5g) Ground Cinnamon
- 3 large Eggs (room temperature)
- 2 tsp (10ml) Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup (120g) Powdered Sugar (for glaze)
- 2–3 tbsp (30-45ml) Heavy Cream (for glaze)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Crust: Press store-bought or homemade dough into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Pre-bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl: Mix brown sugar, melted butter, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour half the cheesecake filling over the pre-baked crust. Drizzle half the cinnamon swirl mixture on top and swirl gently. Repeat with the remaining filling and cinnamon mixture.
- Bake: Wrap the springform pan in foil and place it in a larger roasting pan. Add hot water to create a water bath. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 55-65 minutes, or until the center is just set.
- Cool: Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Add the Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar with heavy cream until smooth. Drizzle over the chilled cheesecake before serving.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth filling. Use a water bath to prevent cracks. Chill thoroughly before serving for the best texture.
