Ingredients
  

  • **For the Crust:**
  • 2 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal crushed
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • **For the Cheesecake Filling:**
  • 24 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • **For the Topping:**
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal for garnish

Instructions
 

  • **Prepare the Crust:** Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). In a mixing bowl, combine crushed cereal and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
  • **Make the Cheesecake Filling:** In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, cinnamon, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  • **Add the Eggs:** Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined after each addition.
  • **Bake the Cheesecake:** Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
  • **Chill the Cheesecake:** Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.
  • **Prepare the Topping:** Beat heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled cheesecake.
  • **Garnish and Serve:** Sprinkle crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal over the top. Slice and serve.
