Ingredients
For the Crust
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits, finely crushed)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling
16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Swirl
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Crust
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter.
Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan using the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass.
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.
2. Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until smooth.
This mixture will create the signature cinnamon roll flavor and swirls inside the cheesecake.
3. Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add vanilla extract and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Do this slowly to keep the filling light and airy.
4. Assemble the Cheesecake
