Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ cup melted butter

For the Cinnamon Roll Layer:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tbsp milk (optional, to thin if needed)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Make the Crust Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan. Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture into the pan to create an even crust layer. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool.
  2. Step 2: Make the Cinnamon Roll Layer In a bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Spread this cinnamon mixture over the cooled crust in the pan.
  3. Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream, blending until fully combined. Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the cinnamon roll layer.
  4. Step 4: Add the Cinnamon Swirl Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl to make the cinnamon swirl. Sprinkle half of the mixture over the cheesecake filling in the pan. Add the remaining cheesecake filling and sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon swirl mixture on top.
  5. Step 5: Bake Bake the cheesecake at 325°F (163°C) for 55-65 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door cracked open for one hour. Cool the cheesecake at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  6. Step 6: Make the Cream Cheese Frosting In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk (if needed) until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency.
  7. Step 7: Serve Spread the cream cheese frosting over the chilled cheesecake before serving. Slice and enjoy your homemade Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake!
