Ingredients

  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 can (12.4 oz) prepared cinnamon roll dough or 1 honeybun-flavored cake layer, pre-baked
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or cream (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Press cinnamon roll dough or honeybun cake layer into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Pre-bake for 8–10 minutes if using dough. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, melted butter, and nutmeg (if using) to make the cinnamon swirl mixture. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar and mix until fluffy.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream until fully combined.
  6. Pour half the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust. Drizzle half the cinnamon swirl mixture on top and gently swirl with a knife.
  7. Pour in the remaining cheesecake batter and repeat with the remaining cinnamon swirl mixture. Swirl again to create a marbled effect.
  8. Bake for 55–65 minutes, until the center is slightly jiggly but set around the edges.
  9. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  10. Before serving, whisk powdered sugar with milk or cream to make a glaze. Drizzle over the chilled cheesecake and serve.

Notes

Chill overnight for best texture and cleaner slices.Use maple syrup instead of milk in the glaze for a seasonal twist.Add chopped pecans to the cinnamon swirl for crunch.Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest texture.To make gluten-free, use gluten-free cinnamon rolls or cake mix and flour alternatives.
