Description

Indulgent cinnamon roll honeybun delight cheesecake merges classic dessert flavors in a luxurious fusion. Rich layers of creamy cheesecake and sweet pastry swirls promise delectable satisfaction for passionate bakers seeking something extraordinary.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Honeybun Topping: Craft a decadent glaze by whisking honey, melted butter, milk, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  7. 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.
