Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, crushed (for crust)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional, for whipped topping)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, for whipped topping)
  • Additional crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a springform pan.
  2. Mix crushed cereal and melted butter to form the crust. Press into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
  3. Beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla and sour cream.
  4. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl for the swirl.
  5. Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the crust. Sprinkle with half the cinnamon sugar mixture. Repeat with remaining batter and swirl with a knife.
  6. Bake in a water bath for about 60 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
  7. Turn off oven and let cheesecake rest inside for 1 hour. Cool to room temperature.
  8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Before serving, top with whipped cream, crushed cereal, and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, if desired.

Notes

  • Use a mix of cereal and graham crackers for a less sweet crust.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the filling for a spiced twist.
  • Top with caramel sauce for extra richness.
  • Add cereal topping right before serving to prevent sogginess.
