Description

This decadent Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake combines the creamy richness of a classic cheesecake with the warm, comforting flavor of cinnamon rolls. With a graham cracker crust, a smooth cream cheese filling, and gooey cinnamon roll pieces on top, this dessert is sure to become a new favorite!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 can cinnamon rolls with icing (typically 8 rolls)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a bowl, mix together crushed graham crackers, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1 cup sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust in the springform pan.
  • Cut the cinnamon rolls into bite-sized pieces and scatter them on top of the cream cheese mixture.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is almost set (it should still have a slight jiggle).
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving to allow it to firm up.

Notes

  • If you’d like a more pronounced cinnamon flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the cream cheese mixture.
  • The icing from the cinnamon rolls can be drizzled over the top of the cheesecake for an extra layer of sweetness.
