🛒 What You’ll Need

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs 🍪
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted 🧈

For the Cheesecake:

  • 3 pkg (24 oz) Cream cheese, softened ☁️
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar 🍬
  • 3 Large eggs 🥚
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract ✨
  • 1/2 cup Sour cream 🥛

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • 1/4 cup Butter, melted 🧈
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar, packed 🤎
  • 1 tbsp Ground cinnamon 🪵

👩‍🍳 Let’s Get Baking!

  1. The Base: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. 🍪🧈
  2. The Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until silky smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla and sour cream. Pour this over your crust. 🥣✨
  3. The Swirl: Mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Drop spoonfuls onto the cheesecake batter and use a knife to swirl it beautifully. 🌀🎨
  4. Bake: Bake for 55–60 minutes until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. 🥨🔥
  5. Cool & Chill: Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours. ❄️⏳
  6. The Finish: Dust with powdered sugar or a simple vanilla glaze before serving for that true “honeybun” look! 🍯✨

💡 Pro-Tip:

To prevent cracking, place a pan of hot water on the bottom rack of the oven while the cheesecake bakes—this creates steam for a perfectly smooth top! 💧🌡️
