Cinnamon Roll Honeybun Cheesecake


4. Bake the Cheesecake

  1. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet (to catch any leaks) and bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
  2. Turn off the oven, crack the door open slightly, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
  3. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

5. Make the Honey Glaze

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, honey, and milk until smooth. Add more milk, a drop at a time, if needed to reach a drizzling consistency.
  2. Optional: Stir in almond extract for a hint of nutty sweetness.

6. Assemble and Serve

  1. Once the cheesecake is chilled, carefully remove it from the springform pan.
  2. Drizzle the honey glaze generously over the top of the cheesecake.
  3. Optional: Sprinkle with a mix of cinnamon sugar or crushed nuts for added texture and flavor.

Pro Tips for Success
