  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder *see notes

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (spoon and leveled)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 4 blocks (8oz) cream cheese (at room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (at room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (spoon and leveled)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs (at room temperature)

Icing

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a medium bowl, mix together graham cracker crust ingredients until well combined.
  • Pack the mixture into the bottom and about halfway up the sides of a 9 inch springform pan.
  • Bake the cheesecake crust in the center of your oven for 8 minutes. It won't look any different, but this helps keep it nice and crisp.
  • Take the crust out and set aside to cool slightly while you prep the rest of the cheesecake components.

Cinnamon Swirl Preparation

  • Mix together all the ingredients for the cinnamon swirl in a small bowl, and set aside.

Streusel Preparation

  • Mix and mash together all of the ingredients for the streusel topping in a medium bowl.
  • Work until you have a well moistened and crumbly mixture. Set aside and keep slightly chilled if your kitchen is warm.

Cheesecake Filling Preparation

  • In a large bowl, combine your blocks of cream cheese and sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat together until smooth.
  • Add your sour cream, flour, salt, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix until combined.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Avoid over mixing.

Assembling & Baking

  • Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the crust and spread into an even layer.
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon swirl filling over top in spoonfuls.
  • Carefully drizzle the remaining cheesecake filling on top.
  • Run a skewer through the batter to gently swirl everything together.
  • Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top.
  • Fill a large pan with water and place it on the bottom rack of your preheated oven at 325°F.
  • Place the cheesecake onto the center rack and bake for 70 minutes. Remove the water pan and bake for another 20-30 minutes.
  • Leave the cheesecake in the oven and cool for 2 hours with the door slightly ajar.
  • Cool completely to room temperature, then chill for at least 4 hours or until set.

Icing

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk to combine for the icing.
  • Drizzle the icing over the cooled cheesecake before slicing and serving!
