Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 (8 ounces / 226 grams) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 package cinnamon rolls with icing
- 1 cup (200 grams) sugar
- 2 eggs
Creamy and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare a springform pan by lightly greasing its surface at 350F (175C) to ensure smooth cake removal.
- Carefully spread the cinnamon roll dough across the pan’s bottom, creating an even, uniform base layer.
- Combine cream cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream in a mixing bowl, whisking until the mixture achieves a silky, homogeneous texture without lumps.
- Gently pour the cream cheese blend over the prepared cinnamon roll foundation, maintaining an even distribution.
- Position the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, monitoring until the center sets firmly and achieves a slight wobble when gently shaken.
- Remove from oven and allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, which helps stabilize its structure and prevents cracking.
- After cooling, drizzle the reserved cinnamon roll icing across the top in an artistic, zigzag pattern, enhancing both visual appeal and flavor complexity.
- Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature for optimal taste and texture experience.
Notes
- Swap standard cinnamon roll dough with gluten-free alternatives for those with wheat sensitivities, ensuring everyone can enjoy this decadent dessert.
- Create a lighter version by using reduced-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, cutting down on calories without sacrificing rich flavor.
- Test the cheesecake’s doneness by gently shaking the pan – a slight wobble in the center indicates perfect custard-like consistency, preventing over-baking and potential cracking.
- Enhance the cinnamon flavor by sprinkling ground cinnamon between the dough layer and cream cheese mixture, intensifying the warm, aromatic profile of the dessert.
