Ingredients
Scale
Cake Base:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling:
- 4 (8 ounces/226 grams) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 honey buns, chopped
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Prepare a buttery graham cracker foundation by combining crumbs and melted butter, firmly pressing the mixture into the base of a springform pan to create a solid, even crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip cream cheese until smooth, gradually incorporating sugar, then gently fold in eggs and vanilla extract, creating a silky, luxurious cheesecake batter.
- Delicately arrange torn honey bun pieces across the cream cheese mixture, using a knife to swirl cinnamon throughout the surface, ensuring an even distribution of sweet, spicy notes.
- Transfer the pan to a preheated oven, allowing the cheesecake to bake until the center is just set but slightly jiggly, indicating a perfect, creamy texture.
- Remove from the oven and let the cheesecake cool completely at room temperature, which helps prevent cracking and ensures a smooth, dense consistency.
- Craft a decadent glaze by whisking powdered sugar with a touch of liquid, drizzling the sweet mixture elegantly across the cooled cheesecake surface.
- Refrigerate the dessert for several hours to enhance flavor melding and achieve optimal serving temperature, then slice and serve to delighted guests.
Notes
- Choose room temperature cream cheese for a smoother, lump-free batter that blends effortlessly.
- Crush graham crackers finely to create a compact, sturdy crust that holds the cheesecake perfectly.
- Use store-bought honey buns or homemade ones for a personalized touch that adds extra sweetness and texture.
- Chill the cheesecake overnight to enhance flavor development and achieve a firmer, more stable slice.
