Mixing bowls
Electric mixer
Spatula
9-inch springform pan
Rolling pin (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 6 tbsp. melted butter
- 1 package refrigerated cinnamon rolls (8 oz)
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 3 large eggs
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter; press evenly into a 9-inch springform pan.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes and let it cool.
Unroll the cinnamon rolls and lay them flat on the cooled crust, pressing the seams together.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, flour, and vanilla until smooth; add eggs one at a time, mixing gently.
Pour the filling over the cinnamon roll layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, until edges are set and center jiggles slightly; then turn off the oven and leave for an additional 30 minutes.
Let the cheesecake cool completely on a wire rack.
Add dollops of whipped cream and sprinkle pieces of cinnamon rolls on top.
Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother batter. Don't skip the resting time—it helps prevent cracks. Garnish with seasonal fruits like berries for added flair. Store leftovers tightly covered in the fridge for up to 5 days; individual slices can be frozen for up to 3 months. Brush the cinnamon roll layer with melted butter for a richer flavor before adding the cheesecake filling.
