Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a springform pan with butter or non-stick spray.
Prepare the Crust: Separate the cinnamon rolls and set aside the icing. Flatten each cinnamon roll and press them evenly into the bottom of the pan, spreading them slightly up the sides to form a crust. Drizzle the melted butter over the cinnamon roll crust. Bake for 10 minutes and then set aside to cool slightly.
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sour cream until smooth and well combined.
Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the pre-baked cinnamon roll crust. Smooth the top with a spatula to evenly distribute the filling.
Bake the Cheesecake: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is just set and jiggles slightly when shaken. The edges should be firm and golden brown.
Cool and Refrigerate: Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture and flavor.
Make the Glaze: Before serving, mix the cinnamon roll icing with milk and an additional teaspoon of cinnamon to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the chilled cheesecake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Serve: Garnish with extra cinnamon if desired. Slice and serve!

Notes

Add Fruit: Top the cheesecake with fresh fruit like berries, bananas, or sliced apples for added freshness and flavor.

Make it Nutty: Add some chopped pecans or walnuts to the cinnamon roll crust for an extra crunch.

Chocolate Drizzle: For a chocolate twist, drizzle some melted chocolate over the glaze before serving.
