Ingredients

  • For the crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs or crushed snickerdoodle cookies
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • For the filling:
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (optional)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • For the topping:
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. For the crust, combine crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter, press into the bottom and sides of the pan, and bake for 8–10 minutes. Let cool.
  3. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, sour cream, and vanilla. Mix in eggs one at a time. Stir in flour and cinnamon.
  4. Pour filling over cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake for 55–65 minutes, until center is slightly jiggly but edges are set.
  5. Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Before serving, mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the top. Add whipped cream or crushed cookies if desired.

Notes

  • Use snickerdoodle cookies for an extra flavorful crust.
  • Swirl in caramel or use brown sugar for a richer filling.
  • Bake in muffin tins for mini cheesecakes.
  • Store covered in fridge up to 5 days; freeze slices for longer storage.
  • Use gluten-free alternatives for a gluten-free version.
