This Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Recipe Combines Two Of The Best Desserts

Cinnamon roll cheesecake is the dessert mash-up you never knew you needed in your life. It combines — you guessed it — cinnamon rolls and cheesecake to create the ultimate autumnal dessert. Now that fall is officially here, a cinnamon roll cheesecake is just the kind of treat you’ll want to enjoy all season long. Cinnamon is the fall spice — right behind pumpkin spice, after all!

This recipe from Delish uses what we’ll call globs of cinnamon and sugar in between layers of cheesecake to recreate the flavor you know and love in a new and sliceable way.

You can see exactly how it’s done in the video from the Delish YouTube channel:

The alternating layers of cinnamon and sugar, as well as a classic cream cheese filling, offer up the perfect amount of flavor in every forkful.
