Description
A delightful cheesecake that combines the flavors of cinnamon rolls and honeybuns, perfect for dessert lovers.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup mini cinnamon rolls, chopped (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup whipped cream (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon caramel sauce (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray or butter.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the sour cream until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Gently fold the chopped cinnamon rolls into the cream cheese mixture, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top. Swirl gently with a spatula to create a marbled effect.
- Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Before serving, top with whipped cream and drizzle with caramel sauce.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of almond extract to the cream cheese mixture.
- You can also substitute the mini cinnamon rolls with chocolate chips or nuts for a different twist.
