Scale
- Cinnamon Roll Base:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- Cheesecake Layer:

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Base:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add softened butter and milk, mixing until a dough forms.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Spread brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the dough. Roll it up tightly and slice into small rounds. Arrange the slices to cover the bottom of the pan, pressing them together to form a base.
- Make the Cheesecake Layer:
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract, beating until creamy.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cinnamon roll base in the pan.
- Add the Cinnamon Swirl Topping:
- Mix melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Drizzle over the cheesecake layer in a swirl pattern. Use a knife or skewer to create a marbled effect.
- Bake and Cool:
- Bake for 45–50 minutes or until the cheesecake is set but slightly jiggly in the center. Let it cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the chilled cheesecake before serving.
