Indulge in this decadent Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake that perfectly combines the creamy richness of classic cheesecake with the warm, spicy flavors of cinnamon rolls. This luscious dessert features a smooth cream cheese filling layered with a sweet cinnamon-sugar mixture, baked to a golden perfection, making it an irresistible treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Batter

  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan thoroughly to ensure easy removal of the cheesecake later.
  2. Beat Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. This step ensures a smooth and creamy texture.
  3. Add Sugar: Gradually add the granulated sugar to the cream cheese while continuing to beat until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  4. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to maintain a smooth batter. Then stir in the vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
  5. Combine Cinnamon Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar until evenly combined.
  6. Layer Batter and Cinnamon Mixture: Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the prepared springform pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter to create a flavorful layer.
  7. Top with Remaining Batter: Carefully pour the remaining cheesecake batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer, smoothing the top gently.
  8. Bake the Cheesecake: Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly, and the edges turn a light golden color.
  9. Cool in Oven: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door closed for an additional 1 hour to cool gradually, which helps prevent cracking.
  10. Chill Before Serving: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set and enhance the flavors before serving.

Notes

  • Softening cream cheese to room temperature is key for a smooth batter.
  • Do not overbeat the eggs to avoid incorporating too much air, which can cause cracks.
  • Use a water bath if desired to help prevent cracking and maintain moisture, but it is not necessary for this recipe.
  • Make sure to fully chill the cheesecake for best slicing results.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
