Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Set aside.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
- Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl:
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Stir to create a syrupy mixture.
- Assemble the Cheesecake:
- Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the crust. Drizzle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the filling and use a knife to gently swirl. Repeat with the remaining filling and cinnamon swirl.
- Bake:
- Place the springform pan in a water bath and bake for 55–60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
- Cool the cheesecake completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Prepare the Icing:
- In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the icing over the chilled cheesecake before serving.
