Instructions
Creating Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. Make the Cinnamon Roll Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, and egg until combined.
4. Mix Dough: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
5. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
6. Add Cinnamon Filling: Spread melted butter over the dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture evenly on top.
7. Roll Up: Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
8. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
9. Add Eggs: Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth.
10. Layer the Cheesecake: Pour half of the cream cheese mixture into the prepared pan. Place half of the cinnamon roll pieces over the cream cheese mixture. Pour the remaining cream cheese mixture on top, followed by the remaining cinnamon roll pieces.
11. Bake: Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
12. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the pan for about 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
13. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
