Cinnamon Roll Honeybun Cheesecake (Print Version)

Swirled with cinnamon rolls and caramel, this cheesecake delivers a luscious, spiced treat for dessert lovers.

# Ingredients:

→ Crust

01 - 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
02 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

→ Cheesecake Filling

03 - 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
04 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 1 cup sour cream

→ Cinnamon Swirl and Add-ins

08 - 1/2 cup brown sugar
09 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
10 - 1 cup mini cinnamon rolls, chopped

→ Topping

11 - 1 cup whipped cream
12 - 1 tablespoon caramel sauce

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter or nonstick spray.
02 - Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until texture is smooth and creamy.
04 - Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in sour cream until homogenous.
05 - Combine brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a separate bowl. Gently fold chopped mini cinnamon rolls into the cream cheese filling. Pour mixture over prepared crust. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar blend over the top and swirl gently using a spatula to create a marbled effect.
06 - Transfer pan to preheated oven. Bake 50–60 minutes, or until center is just set but slightly wobbly.
07 - Turn off oven and leave cheesecake inside with door closed for 1 hour. This prevents cracking.
08 - Remove cheesecake from oven. Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
09 - Garnish surface with whipped cream and drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Fully cooling and chilling the cheesecake is essential for a smooth texture and clean slices.
