Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 packages cream cheese
- 1 cinnamon roll dough
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (120 ml)
Sweeteners:
- 1 cup sugar (200 g)
- 1/4 cup honey (85 g)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (60 g)
Flavoring and Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup butter (113 g)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 325°F and coat a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick spray.
- Unroll the cinnamon roll dough and press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan, creating an even layer that covers the entire base.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip cream cheese until velvety, then gradually incorporate sugar, honey, and ground cinnamon, blending until completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Gently fold in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully integrated before adding the next, then mix in vanilla extract and heavy cream until the batter becomes silky and uniform.
- Carefully pour the creamy cheesecake mixture over the cinnamon roll dough base, using a spatula to spread evenly and eliminate any air pockets.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 55-60 minutes, watching for a slight jiggle in the center while the edges appear set.
- Remove from oven and allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours to achieve perfect consistency.
- Before serving, drizzle with a luxurious cinnamon-honey glaze and garnish with a light dusting of ground cinnamon.
Notes
- Swap regular dough for gluten-free cinnamon roll alternatives to make this dessert celiac-friendly.
- Reduce sugar content by using low-glycemic honey or monk fruit sweetener for a diabetic-conscious version.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to prevent lumpy batter and achieve silky smooth texture.
- Prevent cheesecake cracking by baking in a water bath and allowing gradual cooling at room temperature before refrigerating.
