Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs form.
Add brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter to the crumbs; mix until combined.
Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan to form a crust.
In a bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and melted butter until crumbly. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy.
Add granulated sugar, flour, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then add heavy cream, mixing until fully incorporated.
Layer 1/3 of the cream cheese filling over the crust, then sprinkle with 1/3 of the crumb mixture. Repeat layers, finishing with the crumble on top.
Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 200°F and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Turn off oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly open. Then refrigerate overnight.
For the frosting, mix butter, cream cheese, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until smooth.
Pipe the frosting over the chilled cheesecake before serving.
Notes
For the best texture, use room-temperature cream cheese and eggs. A water bath while baking can help prevent cracks. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
