Ingredients

FOR THE CRUST:

  • 2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • 5 Tbsp Melted Butter

FOR THE CINNAMON CRUMBLE:

  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup Flour
  • 1/3 cup Melted Butter

FOR THE CHEESECAKE LAYER:

  • 4 packages Cream Cheese 8 oz each softened at room temperature
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 3 Tbsp All Purpose Flour
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 4 Eggs at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream

FOR THE TOPPING:

  • 2 oz Cream Cheese softened at room temperature
  • 1 Tbsp Butter softened at room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 3-4 Tbsp Milk

Instructions

  • FOR THE CRUST:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9 inch springform pan with a non-stick cooking spray.
  • Add the graham crackers to a food processor.
  • Pulse until the crackers are a fine crumb consistency.  Then add in the butter and pulse until well combined.
  • Then press the mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the springform pan to form the crust.
  • Bake for 10 minutes.  Then remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • FOR THE CINNAMON CRUMBLE:
  • Combine the cinnamon crumble ingredients together in a small mixing bowl with a fork to form a nice crumble.
  • FOR THE CHEESECAKE LAYER:
  • Add the cream cheese to a stand up mixer with a paddle attachment and cream for 5-6 minutes until the cream cheese is light and fluffy and there are no lumps in the cream cheese.
  • Then put the mixer on low speed and add in the sugar and flour.  Then mix for 1-2 minutes until combined.
  • Then add in the vanilla extract and the eggs 1 at a time.
  • Make sure that the egg is fully combined before adding the next one.
  • Once the eggs are combined, add in the heavy whipping cream and mix for 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour 1/3 of the cheesecake mixture into the springform pan on top of the crust.
  • Top with 1/3 of the cinnamon crumble layer and gently press the cinnamon crumble into the cheesecake layer.
  • Repeat these layers 2 more times finishing with the cinnamon crumble on top.
  • Place the cheesecake in the oven in the center and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Then turn the oven temperature down to 200 degrees F but do not remove the cheesecake.
  • Then bake for 1 hour and 20-30 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still jiggly.
  • Then turn the oven off and crack the oven door but do not remove the cheesecake.  Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 15-20 minutes before removing.
  • Then move the cheesecake to a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature.
  • Then chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours but overnight is preferred.
  • Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan after the cheesecake has set.
  • FOR THE TOPPING:
  • Cream together the cream cheese and butter with a hand held mixer until light and fluffy. 
  • Then add in the powder sugar and vanilla extract. 
  • Mix until well combined. Then gradually add in the milk until the topping has a consistency that you prefer.  
  • Then pipe the topping onto the cheesecake with a piping bag or sandwich bag right before serving.  
  • Then the cheesecake is ready to slice, serve and enjoy!
