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.
