Ingredients

Scale
  • Base Layer:
    • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
    • ¼ cup soft brown sugar
    • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
    • 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter
  • Creamy Filling:
    • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1 cup sour cream
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Cinnamon Ribbon:
    • ½ cup packed brown sugar
    • 1½ tbsp ground cinnamon
    • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
    • 5 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Combine graham crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter and press firmly into a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool.
  2. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently. Stir in sour cream and vanilla. Set aside.
  3. Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Stir in melted butter until it forms a cinnamon paste.
  4. Pour half the filling over crust. Drop spoonfuls of cinnamon mix. Repeat with remaining batter and swirl gently with a knife.
  5. Place the pan in a larger tray and pour in hot water halfway up. Bake for 55–65 minutes. Turn off oven, crack door, and let cheesecake cool for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Slice and serve with powdered sugar or a vanilla icing drizzle.

Notes

  • Use room temp ingredients for a smooth mix.
  • Don’t overmix once eggs are added.
  • Add a maple glaze for extra indulgence.
  • For vegan or gluten-free, use suitable replacements for all dairy and cracker components.
