1. Prepare the Crust:
Start by making the graham cracker crust. In a large mixing bowl ๐ฅฃ, combine 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup of melted butter ๐ง. Stir the mixture until the crumbs are fully coated in butter, and the texture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9ร13-inch baking dish, creating an even layer. Use the back of a spoon ๐ฅ or a flat-bottomed glass to press the crust tightly into place. Place the crust in the fridge to chill while you prepare the cheesecake layer.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a blender or food processor, add the softened cream cheese ๐ง, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 3 eggs ๐ฅ, 1/2 cup of sour cream, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps of cream cheese. The filling should be rich and silky. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the chilled graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to cover the entire crust. Set aside while you prepare the cinnamon swirl.
3. Create the Cinnamon Swirl:
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of melted butter ๐ง, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Stir until fully combined and smooth. Using a spoon, drizzle the cinnamon mixture over the top of the cheesecake filling in thin lines or swirls. Take a toothpick or knife and gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the cheesecake batter, creating a beautiful marbled effect.
4. Bake the Cheesecake Bars:
Preheat your oven to 325ยฐF (160ยฐC) ๐ฅ. Bake the cheesecake bars in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes โฒ๏ธ, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden brown. You want the cheesecake to be slightly jiggly in the center, as it will firm up while cooling. Be careful not to overbake, as this can lead to cracks in the cheesecake. Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature before chilling in the fridge for at least 2 hours to fully set the cheesecake layer.
5. Make the Cream Cheese Icing:
While the cheesecake is chilling, prepare the cream cheese icing ๐ฅ. In a medium mixing bowl, beat together 4 oz of softened cream cheese ๐ง, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2-3 tablespoons of milk ๐ฅ until smooth and pourable. The icing should be thick enough to drizzle but not too runny. If itโs too thick, add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
6. Drizzle and Serve:
Once the cheesecake has chilled and fully set, cut it into bars. Drizzle the cream cheese icing over the top of the bars using a spoon or piping bag ๐จ. The icing adds a rich, sweet finishing touch that ties together the cinnamon roll flavors. Serve these decadent cheesecake bars chilled, and enjoy the perfect blend of creamy cheesecake and cinnamon swirl flavors in every bite! ๐
