Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) cream cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) honey

- 1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar
Cinnamon and Spice Components:
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Binding and Texture Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) heavy cream
- Cinnamon roll dough
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a springform pan with non-stick spray.
- Carefully press cinnamon roll dough evenly across the bottom of the pan, creating a uniform crust layer.
- Using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese until silky, gradually incorporating sugar, honey, and vanilla extract until completely smooth.
- Gently introduce eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to maintain a consistent batter texture.
- Delicately pour the creamy cheesecake mixture over the prepared cinnamon roll crust, ensuring complete coverage.
- Create a decadent swirl topping by combining melted butter, rich brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a separate mixing bowl.
- Artfully drizzle and swirl the cinnamon mixture across the cheesecake surface, creating intricate patterns.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, watching for a slightly firm center with minimal jiggle.
- Remove from oven and allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature.
- Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours to allow the dessert to set and develop its full flavor profile before serving.
Notes
- Opt for room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth, lump-free cheesecake batter and even mixing.
- Gently swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture to create beautiful marbled patterns without overmixing the batter.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free cinnamon rolls or a graham cracker alternative as the crust base.
- Prevent cracks by using a water bath during baking and avoiding overbaking the cheesecake.
