### 👩🍳 How to Make It:
#### 1. **Prepare the crust**
Mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter and cinnamon. Press it into a springform pan and bake for 8–10 minutes. Let it cool while you prep the filling.
#### 2. **Mix the cheesecake**
Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add sugar, vanilla, and eggs one at a time. Stir in the sour cream last. This batter should be silky and lump-free.
#### 3. **Layer the swirl**
Pour half the cheesecake batter into the crust. Drizzle half the cinnamon-sugar swirl over the top, then repeat with the rest of the batter and swirl.
Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the layers for that signature marbled effect.
#### 4. **Bake low and slow**
Bake the cheesecake in a water bath at 325°F (160°C) for about 60–70 minutes. The edges should be set but the center slightly jiggly. Let it cool completely, then chill for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better).
#### 5. **Glaze it up**
Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle generously over the chilled cheesecake — just like a honeybun.
