Cinnamon Swirl Cheesecake is a rich, creamy dessert layered with a warm cinnamon-sugar swirl over a buttery gluten-free graham cracker crust. It combines the smooth texture of cheesecake with the cozy flavor of cinnamon rolls—perfect for holidays, brunch, or special occasions.

Ingredients

  • For the crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • For the cinnamon swirl:
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • For the cheesecake filling:
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix gluten-free graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
  3. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, gluten-free flour, and melted butter to make the swirl mixture. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar and mix until combined.
  5. Mix in sour cream. Add eggs one at a time, beating gently after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  6. Pour half the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust. Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon swirl mixture over it and gently swirl with a knife.
  7. Pour remaining batter over the top and repeat with the rest of the cinnamon swirl mixture. Swirl again.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
  9. Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cheesecake cool in oven for 1 hour.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.A water bath helps prevent cracking but is optional.Store in fridge for up to 5 days or freeze individual slices for up to 1 month.Let sit at room temp 10–15 minutes before serving for best texture.Top with whipped cream or cinnamon glaze for added flair.
