Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (453 grams) cream cheese
- 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) sour cream
Sweet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) honey
- 1/4 cup (55 grams) brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (55 grams) brown sugar
Spice and Flavor Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) butter, melted
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C) and coat a 9-inch springform pan with grease for optimal baking preparation.
- Create a foundation by laying cinnamon rolls flat across the pan’s bottom, pressing them tightly to form a seamless base layer, reserving the accompanying icing for later use.
- Partially bake the cinnamon roll foundation for 10 minutes, then remove and allow to cool and stabilize.
- Craft the cheesecake mixture by thoroughly blending cream cheese and sugar until silky smooth, then incorporate eggs, vanilla, and sour cream, ensuring complete integration of ingredients.
- Gently cascade the creamy cheesecake mixture over the pre-baked cinnamon roll foundation, establishing an even distribution.
- Develop a luxurious cinnamon swirl by whisking melted butter with brown sugar and cinnamon, then artfully drizzle across the surface, using a knife to create elegant marbled patterns.
- Bake the assembled cheesecake for 40-45 minutes, monitoring until the center sets firmly and develops a delicate golden complexion.
- Construct the honeybun glaze by simmering honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla in a small pan over low heat, stirring until achieving a glossy, uniform consistency.
- Allow the baked cheesecake to cool completely to room temperature, then lavish the prepared honey glaze across its surface.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight, to enhance flavor melding and structural integrity.
- Before serving, elegantly drizzle the reserved cinnamon roll icing as a final decorative and flavor-enhancing touch.
Notes
- Precision matters when pressing cinnamon rolls, ensuring a compact and even base that provides a sturdy foundation for the creamy cheesecake layer.
- Room temperature ingredients guarantee smooth cream cheese mixture, preventing lumps and creating a silky-soft texture that melts in your mouth.
- Swirling technique requires gentle hand movements, creating beautiful marble patterns without overmixing the cinnamon and cheesecake layers.
- Cooling the cheesecake completely prevents cracking and allows flavors to meld, developing a rich, complex taste profile that intensifies overnight.
