Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Unroll the cinnamon rolls and set the icing aside for later use.
3. Spray the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray.
4. Place the cinnamon rolls in the bottom of the pan, pressing them down to fit and covering the entire bottom. Pinch the seams together so there are no gaps.
5. Drizzle the melted butter over the cinnamon rolls, then sprinkle sugar on top for added sweetness, if desired.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:

1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract, and beat until fully combined.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. If using, mix in the flour for added thickness.
4. Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled cinnamon roll crust in the springform pan.

3. Create the Cinnamon Swirl:

1. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter.
2. Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture over the cheesecake batter. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the cinnamon sugar into the cheesecake filling.

4. Bake the Cheesecake:

1. Place the pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
2. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in for an additional 10 minutes.
3. Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) to allow it to set completely.

5. Make the Honeybun Glaze:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, honey, and milk until smooth.
2. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed, so it drizzles easily.

6. Assemble the Cheesecake:

1. Once the cheesecake is fully set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.
2. Drizzle the honeybun glaze over the top of the cheesecake in a zigzag pattern or as desired.
3. If desired, top with the icing from the cinnamon roll package.

7. Serve and Enjoy!

1. Slice and serve the cheesecake chilled, and enjoy the delicious combination of cinnamon, cream cheese, and honeybun goodness.
