✔ Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
✔ Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
✔ Press cinnamon roll dough into the bottom of the pan, pressing the rolls together to form a crust.
✔ Sprinkle with cinnamon & brown sugar for extra flavor.
✅ Bake for 10 minutes and let cool slightly before adding the cheesecake filling!
2️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Filling
✔ In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
✔ Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each.
✔ Mix in vanilla, sour cream, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
✅ The batter should be creamy and thick!
3️⃣ Make the Honeybun Swirl
✔ In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter.
✔ Drizzle half of the mixture over the par-baked cinnamon roll crust.
✔ Pour in half of the cheesecake batter.
✔ Swirl in the remaining honeybun mixture and top with the rest of the cheesecake batter.
✅ This creates a gooey cinnamon-sugar swirl inside the cheesecake!
4️⃣ Bake the Cheesecake
✔ Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
✔ Turn off the oven and let it cool inside for 10 minutes.
✔ Remove and let cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best results).
✅ Slow cooling prevents cracks and makes the cheesecake extra creamy!
