Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Batter

  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream

Cinnamon Sugar Swirl

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Topping

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to get it ready for baking the cheesecake evenly.
  2. Prepare Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create the crust. Set aside.
  3. Make Cheesecake Batter: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  4. Add Eggs and Flavorings: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to incorporate thoroughly. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until fully blended.
  5. Combine Cinnamon Sugar: In a separate small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to form the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  6. Layer Batter and Cinnamon Sugar: Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter. Repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon sugar.
  7. Create Swirled Effect: Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the cheesecake batter to create a beautiful marbled pattern without fully blending it in.
  8. Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, cornstarch, and salt until smooth. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the top of the cheesecake.
  9. Bake Cheesecake: Place the springform pan in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly jiggly to the touch.
  10. Cool in Oven: Turn off the oven, slightly open the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour to prevent cracking and ensure gradual cooling.
  11. Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set and develop flavors before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth batter.
  • Use a water bath or place a pan of water in the oven if you want to minimize cracking for an even smoother surface.
  • Allow the cheesecake to chill thoroughly; cutting it too soon may cause it to collapse or be too soft.
  • For easier removal, run a knife around the edges before unlocking the springform pan.
  • Leftover cheesecake can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
