Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract (for icing)
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (for icing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup of granulated sugar until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Step 5

Add sour cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Blend until fully combined.

Step 6

Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Do not overmix to avoid cracking the cheesecake during baking.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside for the cinnamon swirl.

Step 8

Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the crust. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the batter. Add the remaining cheesecake batter on top and then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon mixture.

Step 9

Using a knife, gently swirl the cinnamon mixture through the batter to create a marbled effect.

Step 10

Bake the cheesecake for 60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 11

To prepare the icing, beat the cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 12

Drizzle the prepared icing generously over the chilled cheesecake before serving.

Step 13

Slice and enjoy your Cinnabon Cheesecake with the perfect balance of creamy and spiced sweetness!
