Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Springform pan

Ingredients
  

For the Cinnamon Roll Crust

  • 2 cups crushed cinnamon roll cookies or cinnamon graham crackers, or crushed honeybun snack cakes
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Swirl Filling

  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted

For the Honeybun Glaze Topping

  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk adjust for thickness
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cinnamon roll cookies, melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
  • In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and mix until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla.
  • Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the crust. In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter for the swirl filling. Drop spoonfuls of the swirl mixture over the filling and use a knife to swirl.
  • Pour the remaining cheesecake filling on top and swirl again if desired. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until set.
  • While the cheesecake is cooling, prepare the honeybun glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and honey until smooth.
  • Once the cheesecake has cooled, drizzle the honeybun glaze over the top before serving.
