Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cheesecake with Extra Topping
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
- 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 32 oz of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup of milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a food processor, pulse 1 cup of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal until finely ground. In a bowl, mix the ground cereal with graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream and flour until combined. Pour the batter over the crust.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is almost set. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake, then remove the sides of the pan. Let the cheesecake cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the chilled cheesecake.
- Before serving, crush the remaining 1 cup of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal and sprinkle it over the top of the cheesecake for an extra crunchy topping.
- Slice and enjoy!
