Ingredients
- For the Crust:
- 2 cups crushed cinnamon rolls (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine crushed cinnamon rolls, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in sour cream, flour, cinnamon, and brown sugar until fully combined.
- Bake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
- Cool and Chill: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for about 1 hour to cool gradually. Then remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
- Serve: Once chilled, slice the cheesecake and serve it plain or topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
