Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust
-
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the bottom in aluminum foil to prevent leaks.
-
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
-
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pan.
-
Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling
-
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
-
Add sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
-
Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated (do not overmix).
3. Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl
-
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
-
Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the crust.
-
Drizzle half of the cinnamon mixture over the batter and swirl gently with a knife.
-
Repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon swirl.
4. Bake the Cheesecake
-
Place the springform pan in a water bath (a larger pan filled with hot water halfway up the sides of the cheesecake pan).
-
Bake for 55–65 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
-
Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
-
Remove from the oven, run a knife around the edges, and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight).
5. Make the Honey Glaze
-
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
-
If a thicker glaze is desired, mix in 1–2 tbsp powdered sugar.
-
Drizzle over the chilled cheesecake before serving.
6. Serve & Enjoy!
