Ingredients
- For the Cinnamon Roll Crust:
- 1 can of cinnamon roll dough (8-count)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- For the Honeybun Topping:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Step-by-step Directions
1. Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Crust
Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Roll out the cinnamon roll dough, and slightly flatten the rolls with your hands to cover the bottom of the pan. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour this mixture evenly over the dough. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and slightly puffed, then set aside to cool slightly.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream and blend until fully incorporated. Pour this filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
3. Bake the Cheesecake
Return the pan to the oven, baking at 325°F (163°C) for 50-60 minutes. The cheesecake is ready when it is set in the center and lightly browned on top. If necessary, cover with foil to prevent over-browning. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour, then let it reach room temperature.
4. Prepare the Honeybun Topping
Mix honey, melted butter, milk, and cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth. Once the cheesecake has cooled, pour and gently spread this topping over the cheesecake.
Servings & Preparation/Cooking Time
This recipe serves about 8-10 people and takes approximately 2 hours of active preparation and cooking time, with an additional 5 hours of cooling and chilling.
Tips for Storage & Reheating
- Store leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days.
