Ingredients
Scale
- For the crust: 1 and 1/2 cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- For the filling: 24 ounces (680g) cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (120g) sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- For the cinnamon swirl: 1/3 cup (70g) brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, melted
- For the glaze: 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan with aluminum foil to prevent leaks.
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon. Press this mixture into the bottom of your prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let it cool completely.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter for the swirl. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and beat until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in sour cream and vanilla until just combined.
- Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the crust. Drizzle half of the cinnamon mixture on top and swirl with a knife. Pour the remaining filling, drizzle the remaining cinnamon mixture, and swirl again.
- Place the springform pan into a larger baking dish and fill it with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Bake for about 55 minutes, or until edges are set, but the center jiggles slightly.
- Turn off the oven and crack the door open. Leave the cheesecake to cool in the oven for an hour. Then, allow it to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the chilled cheesecake before serving.
Notes
Serve with whipped cream, toasted nuts, or vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
