Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line your baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to form an even layer. Bake for 8 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated. Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
  4. Combine softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and vanilla in a small bowl until a thick paste forms.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture onto the cheesecake layer. Use a knife or skewer to swirl it gently into the filling.
  6. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. Let the bars cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Notes

[‘Make sure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth filling.’, ‘Don’t overmix the cheesecake filling to avoid incorporating too much air.’, ‘Line your pan with parchment paper for easy removal.’, ‘Chill the bars before serving for clean slices.’, ‘If the cinnamon topping feels too thick to swirl, add a teaspoon of milk to loosen it up.’]
