Ingredients

Scale

For the Cinnamon Roll Dough:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup warm milk
  • 1/3 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 egg
  • Pinch of salt

For the Honeybun Layer:

  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter (melted)

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 2 cups cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Dough: In a small bowl, heat the milk until warm (not hot) and dissolve the yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, softened butter, and egg. Mix until dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes, then cover and let rise for 1 hour.

2️⃣ Make the Honeybun Layer: In a bowl, mix brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, and melted butter. Set aside.

3️⃣ Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until creamy.

4️⃣ Assemble the Cheesecake: Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread the honeybun mixture evenly, then roll it up into a log. Slice into pieces and place them in a greased baking dish. Pour the cheesecake filling over the rolls, spreading evenly.

5️⃣ Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the cheesecake is set and the rolls are golden brown. Let it cool before slicing.

6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy: Drizzle with extra honey or caramel, and serve with whipped cream or a dusting of cinnamon.
