- Ground Cinnamon – 2 teaspoons
Glaze Topping
- Powdered Sugar – 1 cup

Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press the mixture into a greased springform pan to form an even crust. Chill while preparing the filling.
2️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, eggs (one at a time), and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
3️⃣ Create the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon.
4️⃣ Layer the Cheesecake: Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the crust. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture. Pour the remaining batter, then top with the remaining cinnamon mixture.
5️⃣ Swirl the Cinnamon Mixture: Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the cheesecake batter.
6️⃣ Bake: Place the cheesecake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C). Bake for 50-55 minutes or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
7️⃣ Cool & Chill: Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
8️⃣ Make the Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
9️⃣ Finish & Serve: Drizzle the glaze over the chilled cheesecake before slicing. Enjoy!
Notes
📝 Room Temperature Ingredients: For a smooth texture, make sure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature before mixing.
📝 Prevent Cracks: Baking the cheesecake in a water bath helps keep the texture smooth and prevents cracks.
📝 Customize the Crust: Swap graham crackers for crushed vanilla wafers or cinnamon cookies for extra flavor.
