## **Instructions:**
### **1. Preheat the Oven:**
Preheat your oven to **325°F (163°C)**. Grease a 9-inch springform pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.
### **2. Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Crust:**
Open the can of cinnamon rolls and remove the dough. Roll out each cinnamon roll into a flat circle, and line the bottom of your springform pan with them, pressing them together to cover the entire base. Pinch the edges of the dough to create a solid crust.
In a small bowl, combine the **melted butter**, **cinnamon**, and **brown sugar**. Brush this mixture over the cinnamon roll crust to add extra flavor and moisture. Bake the cinnamon roll crust in the preheated oven for about **10-12 minutes**, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
### **3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:**
While the cinnamon roll crust is cooling, prepare the cheesecake filling. In a large mixing bowl, beat the **cream cheese** until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Add the **sugar** and beat until combined. Add the **eggs**, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the **vanilla extract**, **sour cream**, and **heavy cream** (if using). Beat until everything is smooth and well combined.
### **4. Cinnamon Swirl:**
In a small bowl, whisk together the **melted butter**, **brown sugar**, and **cinnamon** for the cinnamon swirl. This will create the perfect sweet and spiced ribbon to swirl through the cheesecake.
### **5. Assemble the Cheesecake:**
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled cinnamon roll crust, spreading it evenly. Drizzle the cinnamon swirl mixture on top of the cheesecake filling in a zigzag pattern. Using a butter knife or a skewer, gently swirl the cinnamon mixture through the cheesecake to create a beautiful marbled effect.
### **6. Bake the Cheesecake:**
Place the pan in the oven and bake for **55-60 minutes**, or until the edges are set, and the center has a slight jiggle. The cheesecake will continue to firm up as it cools, so don’t worry if it seems a little soft in the middle.
Once the cheesecake is done, turn off the oven and allow it to cool inside the oven with the door slightly ajar for about **1 hour**. This helps prevent cracking. Afterward, remove the cheesecake from the oven and cool it completely at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least **4 hours** (or overnight) to allow the flavors to fully set.
### **7. Make the Glaze (Optional):**
To make the glaze, whisk together the **powdered sugar**, **milk**, and **vanilla extract** in a small bowl until smooth and drizzle-able. Once the cheesecake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top for an extra touch of sweetness and shine.
### **8. Serve and Enjoy:**
Once your Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake is fully chilled and glazed, carefully remove it from the springform pan. Slice into generous pieces and enjoy! The layers of cinnamon roll crust, rich cheesecake filling, and swirls of cinnamon sugar make each bite a delight.
