Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ cup melted butter
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 24 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
- For the cinnamon roll layer, mix softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until smooth. Spoon this mixture over the crust in swirls.
- In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until creamy; add sugar and mix well. Incorporate eggs one at a time followed by vanilla extract and sour cream.
- Add brown sugar and ground cinnamon; mix just until blended. Pour over the cinnamon roll layer in the springform pan.
- Bake for about 55 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Cool inside the oven for one hour before refrigerating.
- For frosting, beat together cream cheese and butter; gradually add powdered sugar and mix in vanilla extract.
- Frost the cooled cheesecake and chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
