Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 packages (16 ounces/454 grams) cream cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup (200 grams) sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar
Crust and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 1/2 cups (180 grams) graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Finishing and Topping Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Crush graham crackers and press into a springform pan, creating a solid, even base for the cheesecake foundation.
- Whip cream cheese until smooth and velvety, gradually incorporating sugar and eggs to form a silky, luxurious filling.
- Craft a warm cinnamon sugar swirl by blending ground cinnamon with granulated sugar, creating a fragrant mixture.
- Carefully pour half the cheesecake batter into the prepared crust, then generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture across the surface.
- Add remaining cheesecake batter, gently marbling the cinnamon sugar through the layers with a knife to create beautiful swirls.
- Transfer the pan to a preheated oven, baking until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly, avoiding over-baking.
- Remove from oven and allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for several hours to firm up.
- Prepare a decadent cream cheese glaze by whisking powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream until smooth and drizzling consistency.
- Once chilled, release the springform pan and generously drizzle the glaze over the top of the cheesecake just before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling that blends perfectly.
- Crush graham crackers finely for a compact, even crust that holds together beautifully.
- Swirl the cinnamon sugar mixture gently to create gorgeous marbled layers throughout the cheesecake.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute graham crackers with almond flour or gluten-free cookie crumbs to make the base.
