For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 ounces Cream Cheese, softened (two 8oz packages)
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream, at room temperature
- 2/3 cup Sugar
- 2 large Eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
For the Cinnamon Swirl:
- 6 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 cup Dark Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/4 cup Flour
Instructions:
Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Combine melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon until it resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into an 8×8″ baking dish and bake for 8 minutes. Allow to cool afterward.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. In a blender, mix the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add the sour cream and continue blending. Incorporate eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully integrated before adding the next.
Assemble the Cheesecake:
- Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Prepare the cinnamon swirl by mixing flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until smooth. Dot the cheesecake layer with spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture. Use a knife to swirl the mixture into the cheesecake gently.
- Add the remaining cheesecake filling and repeat the cinnamon swirl process.
Bake:
- Bake at 325°F for 35-40 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature.
Chill:
- Refrigerate for at least two hours to firm up before slicing into bars.
Storage Options:
