Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 (8 ounces / 226 grams) packages cream cheese, softened
- 3 eggs
- 1 can cinnamon rolls with icing
Crust Ingredients:
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350F (175C) and positioning a rack in the center.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs with sugar and melted butter, pressing the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create a compact base.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip cream cheese and sugar until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency, incorporating eggs individually and blending in vanilla extract for depth of flavor.
- Gently cascade the cream cheese mixture over the prepared graham cracker foundation, ensuring an even distribution.
- Slice cinnamon rolls into rustic chunks, artfully arranging them across the surface of the cheesecake batter to create a visually appealing texture.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven, baking for 35-40 minutes until the center exhibits a slight wobble but appears mostly set.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours to achieve optimal setting and flavor development.
Notes
- Customize the crust by swapping graham crackers with gluten-free alternatives like almond flour or crushed gluten-free cookies for those with dietary restrictions.
- Prevent cracks by avoiding overmixing the cheesecake batter and gently folding ingredients to maintain a smooth, creamy texture.
- Use room temperature ingredients, especially cream cheese and eggs, to ensure a silky, lump-free cheesecake that blends perfectly.
- Add a water bath during baking to create a more even, gentle heat that helps prevent surface cracking and promotes a velvety consistency.
