These Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Bars combine the soft, cinnamon-swirled goodness of a cinnamon roll with the rich, creamy texture of cheesecake, baked into an easy-to-share bar.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2–3 tbsp milk or cream (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cold butter, brown sugar, and 1 tsp cinnamon; mix until crumbly.
  3. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the cinnamon roll crust.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth.
  5. Add eggs and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and beat until creamy and well combined.
  6. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust and spread evenly.
  7. Sprinkle remaining cinnamon and a little sugar on top for extra flavor.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the cheesecake is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  9. Cool completely, then prepare glaze by mixing powdered sugar with milk or cream to desired consistency.
  10. Drizzle glaze over cooled bars.
  11. Chill bars in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the crust.
  • Swirl caramel sauce into the cheesecake layer before baking for a caramel-cinnamon twist.
  • Use cream cheese frosting instead of glaze for a richer topping.
  • Store bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze individual bars wrapped in plastic for up to 2 months.
