Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Pour in melted butter and stir until combined. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup flour with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in vanilla extract.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in sour cream and 1/4 cup milk until just combined.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup softened butter until crumbly. Stir in 1/4 cup flour and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  6. Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the cream cheese layer. Drizzle half of the remaining cream cheese mixture over the cinnamon-sugar layer. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
  7. Pour the remaining cream cheese mixture over the top, ensuring it covers the cinnamon swirl.
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the center is almost set. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  10. For the frosting, whisk together powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. Drizzle over the chilled cheesecake.

Notes

  • For a perfect swirl, use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the cheesecake batter before baking.
  • Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth batter.
  • Chill the cheesecake thoroughly for the best texture and flavor.
