24 oz 3 packages cream cheese, softened
cup granulated sugar

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk or heavy cream

Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 325F 160C.
Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
2. Make the Crust:
In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
Using a mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Blend in the sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Make the Cinnamon Swirl:
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until combined.
5. Assemble the Cheesecake:
Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust.
Drizzle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter and use a knife to gently swirl it into the batter.
Repeat with the remaining cheesecake batter and cinnamon swirl mixture.
6. Bake the Cheesecake:
Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly but set.
Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
Transfer the cheesecake to a wire rack to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
7. Make the Cream Cheese Glaze:
Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth and pourable.

Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top of the cheesecake.
