Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 oz (3 blocks) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

For the Cinnamon Swirl

  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Honeybun Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Crust

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  • In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let cool.

2️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Filling

  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Mix in sour cream, vanilla, and flour until fully incorporated.

3️⃣ Add the Cinnamon Swirl

  • In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust.
  • Drizzle half of the cinnamon mixture over the batter and swirl gently with a toothpick or knife.
  • Pour the remaining cheesecake batter on top, then drizzle the rest of the cinnamon swirl. Swirl again.

4️⃣ Bake the Cheesecake

  • Wrap the bottom of the springform pan in foil and place it in a water bath (a larger pan filled with hot water).
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the center is slightly jiggly but set.
  • Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool for 1 hour.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) for best results.

5️⃣ Make the Honeybun Glaze

  • In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the chilled cheesecake before serving.
