Ingredients

  • Base & cinnamon swirl: 1 cup all‑purpose flour; ½ cup brown sugar; 1 tsp ground cinnamon; 1 tsp baking powder; ¼ tsp salt; ¼ cup milk; 1 egg; 1 tsp vanilla extract; ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted; 2 tbsp brown sugar; 1 tsp ground cinnamon; 1 tbsp melted butter
  • Cheesecake filling: 16 oz cream cheese, softened; ½ cup granulated sugar; 2 large eggs; 1 tsp vanilla extract; ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Glaze (optional but recommended): 1 cup powdered sugar; 2‑3 tbsp milk or cream; ¼ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C); line or grease a springform pan.
  2. Whisk flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl mix milk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter. Combine into a smooth base batter; pour into pan.
  3. Stir together brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter for the swirl; dollop over base batter and swirl gently with a knife or skewer.
  4. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla and sour cream. Pour cheesecake mixture over the swirled base.
  5. Bake 50–60 minutes until center is mostly set with a slight jiggle. Turn off oven and leave door cracked for 30 minutes; then cool fully at room temperature.
  6. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Whisk glaze ingredients and drizzle over cheesecake before serving.

Notes

  • Use crushed cinnamon graham crackers for the crust instead of scratch batter.
  • Stir chopped pecans or walnuts into the swirl for added texture.
  • Add maple syrup or honey to the glaze for extra sweetness and honeybun flavor.
  • You can press canned cinnamon roll dough into the pan as a shortcut crust.
  • Cool gradually—no water bath needed—to avoid cracks.
