Ingredients:
Cinnamon Roll Base:
2 cups all-purpose flour 🍞
1/4 cup granulated sugar 🍬
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened 🧈
1/2 cup milk 🥛
2 teaspoons baking powder 🍞
1/4 teaspoon salt 🧂
1/4 cup brown sugar 🍯
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 🌿
Cheesecake Filling:
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened 🧀
1/2 cup granulated sugar 🍬
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🍦
2 large eggs 🥚
1/2 cup sour cream 🧴
Cinnamon Roll Swirl:
1/4 cup brown sugar 🍯
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 🌿
Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare Pan:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Make the Cinnamon Roll Base:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Add in the softened butter and milk. Mix until a dough forms.
Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, forming a circle that fits the bottom of your springform pan. Press it evenly into the base.
3. Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl:
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the dough base. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the dough to create that classic cinnamon roll pattern.
4. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the sour cream, mixing until smooth.
5. Assemble the Cheesecake:
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared cinnamon roll base in the springform pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
If desired, you can create a few additional cinnamon swirls on top of the cheesecake filling by lightly swirling the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture into the filling.
6. Bake the Cheesecake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is slightly golden. The cheesecake will jiggle slightly when shaken.
Allow the cheesecake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to the fridge. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
Serve chilled and enjoy this perfect blend of cinnamon roll goodness and creamy cheesecake.
This Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake will be a showstopper at your next event or a cozy indulgence at home. It’s truly the best of both worlds! 🥰
