Ingredients
- 2 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal (crushed)
- 5 tbsp butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup sour cream
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Crust: Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Crush the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin. Mix with melted butter and sugar. Press into a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
2️⃣ Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and continue mixing. One at a time, add eggs, beating until combined. Stir in vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sour cream. Mix until creamy.
3️⃣ Bake the Cheesecake: Pour filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for an hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
4️⃣ Serve & Enjoy: Once chilled, remove from the pan. Top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or extra cereal crumbs for added crunch. Slice and enjoy!
