  • 2 Tbsp Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 5 Tbsp Unsalted Butter Melted and cooled.

  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 3 large Large Eggs At room temperature.

Topping

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Milk Adjust as needed for icing consistency.

Instructions

Basic Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter. Pack this mixture into a springform pan and bake for about 8 minutes until slightly set.
  • In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix well and set aside.
  • In another bowl, mix the streusel ingredients until crumbly. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth. Gradually add sour cream, flour, salt, ground cinnamon, and vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.
  • Pour half of the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust. Sprinkle with the cinnamon swirl mixture and drizzle the remaining filling on top, swirling gently. Top with the streusel mixture.
  • Place a pan of boiling water on the bottom rack of the oven. Bake for about 70 minutes; remove water bath, and bake for 20 minutes more until the center is slightly jiggly.
  • Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for about 2 hours. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Whisk powdered sugar and milk together until smooth. Drizzle icing on top of the chilled cheesecake before serving.

Notes

For optimal flavor and texture, refrigerate your cheesecake overnight. Garnish with a sprinkle of extra ground cinnamon if desired.
