Ingredients

  • 1 can cinnamon roll dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 layer honeybun-style dough or pastry
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • Optional: 1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and lightly grease a springform pan.
  2. Press cinnamon roll dough into the bottom and slightly up the sides to form a crust.
  3. Layer honeybun dough over the crust, drizzle with melted butter, and sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon.
  4. In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in sour cream (or heavy cream) and ground cinnamon into the cheesecake filling.
  7. Pour filling over the crust and swirl in additional cinnamon sugar or pecans if desired.
  8. Bake for about 60 minutes until the center is set with a slight jiggle.
  9. Run a knife around the edge, cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

  • Add chopped nuts for crunch in the honeybun layer.
  • Drizzle maple syrup over the top before chilling for extra sweetness.
  • Swirl in apple butter or diced apples for a fruity touch.
  • Create mini cheesecakes in a muffin tin using dough rounds.
  • Store in the fridge up to 4 days; best served cold or after 15 minutes at room temp.
