Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 (8 ounces/226 grams) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 package refrigerated cinnamon roll dough
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3 large eggs
Sugars and Sweeteners:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Baking and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a gentle 325°F, creating the perfect environment for a decadent cheesecake.
- Craft a delectable base by combining crushed graham crackers or crumbled cinnamon roll dough with melted butter, pressing the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create a sturdy foundation.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip cream cheese until silky, gradually incorporating sugar and ground cinnamon to develop a smooth, fragrant mixture.
- Gently fold in eggs and pure vanilla extract, blending until the filling achieves a uniform, creamy consistency without overmixing.
- Carefully pour the luxurious filling over the prepared crust, ensuring an even distribution across the pan.
- Slide the cheesecake into the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, watching for a slight jiggle in the center that indicates perfect doneness.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature, resisting the temptation to rush the process.
- Elevate the dessert by drizzling golden honey across the surface and dusting with an extra sprinkle of warm cinnamon.
- Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, allowing flavors to meld and the texture to set perfectly before serving.
Notes
- Swap graham crackers with crushed cinnamon cereal or leftover cinnamon roll pieces for extra flavor intensity.
- Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs to prevent lumpy texture and ensure smooth, creamy consistency.
- Create gluten-free version by using almond flour or gluten-free graham cracker crumbs for the crust base.
- Prevent cheesecake cracking by placing a water bath underneath during baking to maintain even, gentle heat distribution.
