Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s dive right into the process of making this scrumptious Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake! First, preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, ⅓ cup of sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined, then press this mixture into the bottom of your springform pan to create a solid crust. I usually like to press it down firmly using the bottom of a measuring cup to ensure it holds together nicely in the baking process. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
