Ingredients

• Crust:
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 2 tbsp sugar
• Cheesecake Filling:
  • 24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Cinnamon Swirl:
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
• Icing:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Step-by-step Directions

1. Prepare the Crust

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow to cool.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Incorporate eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well mixed. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until the mixture is completely smooth.

3. Create the Cinnamon Swirl

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix well to form a smooth, flowing cinnamon swirl mixture.

4. Layer and Swirl

Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Drizzle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the filling. Use a knife to swirl these together gently. Repeat with the remaining cheesecake filling and cinnamon swirl.

5. Bake the Cheesecake

Bake the assembled cheesecake for 50–60 minutes, until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, open the door slightly, and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.

6. Add the Icing

Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the icing over the chilled cheesecake.
