Ingredients

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup melted butter

16 oz cream cheese (softened)

1 cup granulated sugar

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press the mixture into a greased springform pan to form an even crust. Chill while preparing the filling.

  5. Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the cheesecake batter for a marbled effect.
  6. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and bake the cheesecake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
  7. Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  8. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and drizzleable to make the glaze.
  9. Drizzle the glaze over the chilled cheesecake before slicing. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Swap graham crackers for crushed vanilla wafers or cinnamon cookies for extra flavor.
  • To prevent cracks, bake the cheesecake in a water bath.
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts can be added to the cinnamon swirl mixture for extra crunch.
  • Fresh berries like raspberries or blueberries can be added on top for a refreshing finish.
