Cinnamon Roll Honeybun Cheesecake 

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it lightly with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
2. Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Base: Unroll both cans of cinnamon roll dough and set the icing aside. Layer the cinnamon roll dough pieces across the bottom of the springform pan, arranging them closely together to form a complete base layer. Use your fingers to press the dough into an even layer, making sure to cover the bottom of the pan completely.
3. Add Butter, Cinnamon, and Sugar: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Drizzle the melted butter over the dough base, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough. This will infuse the cinnamon rolls with extra flavor and a delightful sweetness.
4. Bake the Base: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, just until the cinnamon roll base is golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
5. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and flour, making sure everything is well combined.
6. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cinnamon roll base in the springform pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top of the filling into an even layer. The cheesecake will rise and puff up during baking but will settle back down as it cools.
7. Bake the Cheesecake: Carefully place the pan back in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set in the center and lightly golden on top. You can check the center by gently shaking the pan—if the center is no longer jiggly, it’s done. If needed, you can cover the edges with foil to prevent them from over-browning.
8. Cool and Refrigerate: Once the cheesecake is baked, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking. After that, transfer it to the fridge to chill for at least 3 hours, or overnight if you have time. Chilling is essential to get the perfect texture and flavor.
9. Make the Honey Glaze: While the cheesecake is cooling, make the honey glaze by whisking together the honey, powdered sugar, and milk in a small bowl. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed. The glaze should be smooth and pourable.
10. Finish the Cheesecake: Once the cheesecake has cooled and chilled, remove it from the springform pan. Drizzle the honey glaze over the top of the cheesecake, allowing it to drip down the sides for a beautiful presentation.
11. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cheesecake into wedges, and enjoy the perfect blend of cinnamon roll sweetness, creamy cheesecake, and the rich honey glaze. This dessert is sure to be a hit with everyone!

Tips for the Perfect Cinnamon Roll Honeybun Cheesecake

• Use Fresh Cinnamon Rolls: Make sure to use fresh refrigerated cinnamon rolls for the best texture. They’ll bake into a perfectly soft and buttery base.
• Don’t Overmix the Cheesecake Filling: Be careful not to overmix the cheesecake filling as it can cause the batter to become too airy and prevent the cheesecake from setting properly.
• Let It Chill: For the best texture, make sure to chill the cheesecake for at least 3 hours. This allows the flavors to fully develop and helps the cheesecake firm up.
• Add Extra Toppings: Want to elevate your cheesecake even more? Try adding whipped cream, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top before serving.
• Make Ahead: This cheesecake is perfect for making ahead of time. It keeps well in the fridge for up to 4-5 days, so feel free to make it a day or two in advance of your event.
