Creating a blender cinnamon roll cheesecake involves using a blender to create a smooth cheesecake batter infused with cinnamon roll flavors. Here’s a simplified recipe:
Ingredients:
For the Cinnamon Roll Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups cinnamon roll crumbs (you can use store-bought cinnamon rolls and pulse them in a blender)
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 ounces (2 packages) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup sour cream
For the Cinnamon Swirl:
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Crust:
- In a bowl, mix the cinnamon roll crumbs and melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form an even crust. Set aside.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a blender, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sour cream.
- Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed.
- Make the Cinnamon Swirl:
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon swirl.
- Assemble the Cheesecake:
- Pour about half of the cheesecake batter over the cinnamon roll crust in the springform pan.
- Sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the cheesecake batter.
- Pour the remaining cheesecake batter over the cinnamon swirl layer.
- Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the cheesecake batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake the Cheesecake:
- Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Cool and Chill:
- Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
- Serve:
- Once the cheesecake is fully set, release it from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving platter.
- Slice and serve chilled.
