Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup whipping cream
- 1/2 cup cinnamon roll glaze (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F.
- In a mixing bowl, blend the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and 1/4 cup of sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand. Firmly press this blend into the base of a 9-inch springform pan to create a sturdy crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then take it out of the oven and allow it to cool completely.
- In a separate large bowl, whip the softened cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar together until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Incorporate the vanilla extract and mix until fully integrated.
- Add the eggs individually, ensuring to mix thoroughly after each addition. Scrape down the bowl’s sides as necessary to ensure everything is well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the ground cinnamon, yogurt, and whipping cream until smooth. Carefully fold this mixture into the cream cheese batter, being cautious not to overmix.
- Pour the creamy filling over the cooled crust, using a spatula to level the surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is just set but has a slight wobble. Once done, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for about an hour to cool gradually.
- After an hour, take the cheesecake out and let it reach room temperature. Then, refrigerate it for a minimum of 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to enhance the flavors.
- When ready to serve, generously drizzle the cinnamon roll glaze over the top of the cheesecake for an added touch of sweetness.
Notes
- For best results, refrigerate the cheesecake overnight.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
