Here’s how to make Smooth and Spicy Blender Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Bars:

Blender Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Bars

Ingredients:

For the crust:

• 1 package cinnamon roll dough (with icing)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

For the cheesecake filling:

• 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the cinnamon sugar swirl:

• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal of the bars.
2. Prepare the Crust:
   • Unroll the cinnamon roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
   • Drizzle the melted butter over the dough to add richness and help it bake up golden and delicious.
3. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
   • In a blender, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
   • Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
4. Pour the Cheesecake Mixture:
   • Pour the smooth cheesecake mixture over the cinnamon roll crust in the pan, spreading it out evenly.
5. Create the Cinnamon Sugar Swirl:
   • In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
   • Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the cheesecake layer in swirls or a pattern of your choice.
   • Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the cheesecake mixture, creating a marbled effect that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.
6. Bake the Bars:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle when gently shaken.
   • The bars will continue to set as they cool, ensuring a perfect cheesecake texture.
7. Cool and Chill:
   • Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
   • Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 3 hours to fully set the cheesecake before cutting into bars.
8. Add the Finishing Touch:
   • Before serving, drizzle the bars with the icing that came with the cinnamon roll dough. The icing adds the perfect sweet touch to these indulgent bars.
9. Serve:
   • Cut the chilled cheesecake into bars and enjoy the smooth, creamy cheesecake with a delightful cinnamon swirl and that classic cinnamon roll flavor.
