Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 5 tbsp butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 24 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature

For the Cinnamon Filling:

  • 1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 5 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 2 tbsp cream cheese, room temperature
  • 6 tbsp butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 4–5 tbsp heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and grease the sides.
  2. Prepare Crust: Mix the vanilla wafer crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon together, then stir in the melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  3. Prepare Cheesecake Filling: Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F. Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and flour together until smooth. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix in the eggs one at a time, beating until fully incorporated.
  4. Prepare Cinnamon Filling: In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is smooth and combined.
  5. Assemble the Cheesecake: Layer the cinnamon filling and cheesecake filling over the crust, starting with the cheesecake mixture and finishing with the cinnamon filling on top.
  6. Bake: Bake in a water bath for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the center is set. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set fully.
  8. Prepare Frosting: Beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Thin with heavy cream as needed to reach a spreadable consistency.
  9. Frost and Serve: Before serving, decorate the cheesecake with the cream cheese frosting.
