Ingredients

Scale

Graham Cracker Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs or digestive biscuits/Biscoff cookies

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Cinnamon Roll Swirl:

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Batter:

  • 4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)

  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

  • 1/2 tsp salt

Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 6 tbsp cream cheese

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • 1–2 tsp cinnamon powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Make the Graham Cracker Crust: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir in melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes, then let cool.

  2. Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Swirl: In a bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter. Set aside.

  3. Make the Cheesecake Batter: Beat cream cheese, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.

  4. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the prepared crust. Swirl in half of the cinnamon roll mixture. Repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon swirl. Use a knife to gently swirl the mixtures together.

  5. Bake the Cheesecake: Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set. Let cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  6. Make the Cream Cheese Frosting: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy whipping cream until smooth.

  7. Frost and Serve: Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled cheesecake. Dust with cinnamon powder. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a firmer crust, you can increase the baking time for the graham cracker crust to 10 minutes.

  • To make this cheesecake ahead of time, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

  • You can substitute the graham cracker crust with Biscoff cookies or digestive biscuits for a different flavor twist.

  • If you prefer a thicker cinnamon swirl, feel free to increase the amount of cinnamon roll swirl mixture.
