Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  6. Add the sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon; mix until smooth.
  7. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cinnamon roll base in the pan.

Baking

  2. Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool at room temperature.
  3. After cooling, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serving
  1. Before serving, mix the reserved icing with powdered sugar and milk to create a drizzling glaze.
  2. Drizzle the icing over the cheesecake, and it’s ready to be served!

Notes

Ensure room temperature ingredients for best blending. Do not overmix to avoid air bubbles. Chill the cheesecake properly for optimal flavor melding. Consider garnishing with crushed nuts or whipped cream.
