Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package cinnamon roll dough
- 16 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dairy and Binding Ingredients:
- ½ cup sour cream
Instructions
- Warm your oven to a precise 350°F (175°C), ensuring the temperature is consistent for perfect baking.
- Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Unroll the entire package of cinnamon roll dough and slice it into ½-inch uniform pieces.
- Gently press the dough fragments across the bottom of the pan, creating an even, compact crust layer.
- Grab a large mixing bowl and combine 16 oz cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, 3 whole eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and ½ cup sour cream until the mixture becomes completely smooth and creamy.
- Carefully transfer the entire cheesecake mixture over your prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for exactly 45-50 minutes, watching for a slight jiggle in the center that indicates perfect doneness.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for a minimum of 4 hours, which helps the texture set and intensifies the flavors.
Notes
- Save time by using store-bought cinnamon roll dough instead of making it from scratch.
- Check the cheesecake’s doneness by gently shaking the pan – it should have a slight wobble in the center.
- For a gluten-free version, swap the regular cinnamon roll dough with a gluten-free alternative.
- Warm the cream cheese to room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling.
