Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Electric mixer
  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 3 packages (8 oz each) softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (for cinnamon swirl)
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon (for cinnamon swirl)
  • 4 tbsp melted butter (for cinnamon swirl)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 3 tbsp milk or cream (for glaze)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  • Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until it resembles wet sand and press into a 9-inch springform pan.
  • In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter to create a cinnamon swirl paste.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugars, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour half of the cheesecake filling into the crust, dollop half of the cinnamon swirl, and swirl gently. Repeat with remaining filling and swirl.
  • Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly. Let it cool gradually in the oven with the door cracked.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Before serving, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for the glaze and drizzle it over the cheesecake.

Notes

For a different base, try crushed digestive biscuits or shortbread cookies instead of graham crackers. If you're after a healthy option, consider using low-fat cream cheese or a sugar substitute. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze individual slices for up to 3 months. Always thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating. Remember to use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother filling! Enjoy your baking adventure!
