Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8-count) cinnamon roll dough
- 16 oz (453 g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup honey
- 4 tbsps butter, melted
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 ¼ tsps cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Crust Preparation: Unroll cinnamon roll dough and flatten into an even layer, then coat with a rich blend of melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
- Crust Baking: Transfer dough to a 325°F (163°C) oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until edges turn golden and crisp, then cool completely.
- Cheesecake Filling Creation: Whip cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until silky smooth, gradually incorporating eggs and sour cream to maintain a luxurious, lump-free consistency.
- Primary Baking: Pour cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust, smoothing the surface, and bake at 325°F (163°C) for 50-60 minutes until the center sets with a subtle jiggle.
- Cooling Process: Switch off the oven and let the cheesecake rest inside for one hour to prevent surface cracking, then remove and cool completely at room temperature.
- Honeybun Topping: Craft a decadent glaze by whisking honey, melted butter, milk, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Final Assembly: Generously drizzle the honeybun topping across the cooled cheesecake, then refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours to allow flavors to harmonize and the dessert to set perfectly.
Notes
- Prevent Crust Crumbling: Press cinnamon roll dough gently but firmly to create a sturdy base that holds together when slicing.
- Temperature Precision: Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs to ensure smooth, lump-free cheesecake filling with perfect texture.
- Moisture Control: Cool cheesecake inside the oven to reduce rapid temperature changes, preventing unsightly surface cracks and maintaining creamy consistency.
- Flavor Infusion: Let cheesecake rest in refrigerator for minimum 4 hours to allow cinnamon, honey, and cream cheese flavors to blend harmoniously.
