Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 6 large cinnamon rolls, cut into pieces (store-bought or homemade)
Cheesecake Batter
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan and press the cinnamon roll pieces evenly across the bottom and slightly up the sides to form the crust layer.
- Make the Cheesecake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and continue to beat until fully combined. Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and ground cinnamon until thoroughly blended.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the cheesecake batter evenly over the pressed cinnamon roll base. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Place the pan in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cheesecake to fully set and flavors to meld.
- Serve: Once chilled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan, slice, and serve your rich and flavorful cinnamon roll cheesecake.
Notes
- For best results, use cream cheese at room temperature to avoid lumps in the batter.
- Cinnamon rolls can be homemade or store-bought; choose your favorite variety for best flavor.
- Allowing the cheesecake to chill overnight enhances texture and flavor.
- Use a water bath during baking to prevent cracking if desired, although it is optional for this recipe.
- Serve with whipped cream or a drizzle of icing for extra indulgence.
