Quick to prepare and baked to perfection, they offer all the delightful elements of cinnamon rolls in an easy-to-slice bar form.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Layer

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to allow for easy removal of the bars once baked.
  2. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are fully coated. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking pan. Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes until it turns lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Layer: In a blender or food processor, blend the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until the mixture becomes completely smooth and free of lumps. Pour this creamy cheesecake batter evenly over the cooled crust.
  4. Add the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Drizzle this cinnamon mixture over the cheesecake layer. Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl the mixture into the cheesecake layer to create a marbled effect.
  5. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The cheesecake bars are done when the center is set, and the edges are lightly browned. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan to room temperature.
  6. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk (start with 1 tablespoon and add more if needed to reach drizzling consistency), and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  7. Serve: Once the bars have cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out of the pan. Drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the top. Cut into 12 squares and enjoy your delicious cinnamon roll cheesecake bars!

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature to ensure a smooth batter without lumps.
  • You can adjust the thickness of the glaze by adding more or less milk.
  • Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For easier slicing, chill bars before cutting.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal from the pan.
