### Instructions: How to Make Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake
#### 1. **Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Base**
Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set it aside.
Unroll the cinnamon roll dough and arrange it in the bottom of the prepared pan, creating a base layer. You can press the rolls together to form a single, even layer, or leave a little space between them for a more rustic look. Drizzle the melted butter over the cinnamon rolls, and if you’d like an extra punch of cinnamon flavor, sprinkle ground cinnamon over the rolls.
Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
#### 2. **Prepare the Cheesecake Filling**
While the cinnamon rolls are cooling, prepare the cheesecake filling. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and heavy cream until everything is fully combined.
For an added creamy texture, you can stir in a tablespoon of flour (optional), which helps to set the cheesecake filling. Beat until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
#### 3. **Create the Cinnamon Roll Swirl**
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together. Drizzle the melted butter over the cinnamon rolls and then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top, creating a swirl effect.
#### 4. **Assemble the Cheesecake**
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled cinnamon roll base in the springform pan. Gently swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the cheesecake filling using a knife or skewer, creating a marbled effect. Be careful not to over-mix, as you want the beautiful cinnamon roll swirls to be visible throughout.
#### 5. **Bake the Cheesecake**
Carefully place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. The top should be golden and slightly puffed. You may want to place a baking sheet on the rack below the cheesecake to catch any drips.
Once the cheesecake is done, turn off the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for about an hour. This helps prevent cracking. Afterward, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to fully set.
#### 6. **Serve and Enjoy**
When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving platter. Drizzle with the included cinnamon roll icing, or add your favorite topping, like fresh whipped cream, caramel sauce, or extra cinnamon.
### Tips for Perfect Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake
– **Chill Before Serving**: Letting the cheesecake set overnight in the fridge helps it achieve the perfect creamy texture. It also makes it easier to slice cleanly.
– **Use Room Temperature Ingredients**: Make sure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature to prevent a lumpy filling.
– **Cinnamon Roll Icing**: If you have leftover icing from the cinnamon rolls, you can drizzle it on top of the cheesecake before serving for added sweetness.
– **Make Ahead**: This cheesecake is perfect for making ahead! You can prepare it the day before and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
