Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until it resembles wet sand.
- Press mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Cool completely.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl:
- Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter in a small bowl.
- Assemble the Cheesecake:
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the crust.
- Drizzle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter and swirl gently with a knife.
- Repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon swirl.
- Bake the Cheesecake:
- Place the springform pan in a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water halfway up the springform pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until the edges are set, and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door cracked for 1 hour.
- Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Add the Glaze:
- Mix powdered sugar, milk, and honey (if using) until smooth.
- Drizzle over the cheesecake before serving.
