Equipment

  • 1 9-inch springform pan
  • 1 mixing bowls
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 set measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup milk Warmed
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter Melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • cup brown sugar
  • 16 oz cream cheese Softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt. In another bowl, mix the warmed milk, melted butter, and egg.
  • Gradually add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients, and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  • Roll out the dough onto a floured surface to form a rectangle, about ¼ inch thick. Spread brown sugar and ground cinnamon over the dough, then roll it tightly into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal rolls.
  • Place the cinnamon rolls in the prepared springform pan, allowing some space in between for them to expand.
  • In another large bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, add the sour cream and mix until smooth.
  • Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cinnamon rolls in the pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until the center is set and a slight jiggle remains.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for 1 hour before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight for better flavor.
  • To prepare the topping, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the chilled cheesecake before serving.
