Ingredients You Need to Make Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake

There are quite a few ingredients and steps needed to make this cinnamon roll cheesecake recipe, but it’s so worth it. There is nothing better than homemade cheesecake, especially one that has the flavor of a cinnamon roll!

Crust

Graham Crackers: This recipe calls for using cinnamon graham crackers for the crust to really infuse this cheesecake with cinnamon flavor. If you only have regular graham crackers, you can use those! All you have to do is add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the graham cracker crumbs. It will give a similar flavor and sugary crunch that the cinnamon graham crackers give. Granulated Sugar: Adds sweetness to the graham cracker crust. Unsalted Butter: Melted butter helps to bind the ingredients together and provides a rich taste.

Cinnamon Filling

Brown Sugar: I like to sweeten the cinnamon part of the filling with brown sugar because it provides a rich, caramelized flavor. All-purpose Flour: A small amount of flour will give the cinnamon filling substance. Ground Cinnamon: We’re mixing in plenty of cinnamon for a delicious, warm flavor. Unsalted Butter: To bind the ingredients together.

Cheesecake Filling

Cream Cheese: Make sure your blocks of cream cheese are softened to room temperature, so they combine well without any lumps. Sour Cream: Combining sour cream with cream cheese makes for a super creamy, soft filling. Sugars: The filling uses a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar for a complex sweet taste. Large Eggs: 5 large eggs proved structure and stability. Vanilla Extract: Adds a subtle sweetness.

Cream Cheese Whipped Cream

Cream Cheese: Use blocks of cream cheese that are softened to room temperature. Powdered Sugar: Sweetens and dissolves instantly into the whipped cream, leaving a smooth and creamy texture. Heavy Cream: Make sure it’s chilled for optimal results. Chilling helps the cream whip up faster and creates stiffer, more stable peaks.
