Ingredients Notes For Blender Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Bars:

Graham Cracker Crumbs: For a rustic touch, crush your own! Store-bought works, but there’s something therapeutic about hammering those crackers.

Cream Cheese: Always opt for full fat. This is not where you want to cut corners, trust me.

Sour Cream: Room temperature is the keyword. Cold sour cream can lead to a lumpy filling, and we’re aiming for silky smooth.

Cinnamon Swirl: If you’re feeling frisky, a pinch of nutmeg can be a spicy little addition.

How To Make Blender Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Bars:

The Crust Hustle: Begin by melting that butter – oh, the aroma! Then, in a medium bowl, combine those fragrant graham cracker crumbs with your melted butter, brown sugar, and a hint of salt. Here’s where things get fun – press this mix into your 8-inch baking dish. No perfection needed; rustic charm, remember? Pop it into a 350°F oven for 8 minutes. Let it cool while you resist the urge to eat it.

Filling Time: Now, lower the oven temp to 325°F. Get that blender out and throw in the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Blend till you see creamy magic. Toss in the sour cream, giving it another whirl. Eggs next, one by one. Blending in between ensures a luscious, lump-free concoction.

Swirlin’ Cinnamon: In a separate bowl, combine your melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Stir it well; get rid of any lurking lumps.

Assembly Line: Now, here’s where the artistry comes into play. Pour half of your velvety cheesecake filling over your patiently waiting crust. Spoon in dollops of your cinnamon concoction and channel your inner Van Gogh – swirl it gently. Add the rest of the filling and cinnamon mixture on top and swirl again. Into the oven, it goes for 35-40 minutes. Once baked, chill for 2 hours. A true test of patience, I know, but trust me – it’s worth the wait!

Storage Options:

These decadent bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Want to extend the enjoyment? Freeze individual bars, separated by parchment paper, for up to a month. To relish, simply thaw in the fridge overnight.

Variations and Substitutions:

Craving some nutty flair? Add in crushed pecans to your cinnamon swirl. For a zestier touch, some lemon or orange zest in the filling can be the twist you need. If you’re out of sour cream, Greek yogurt is a great stand-in. Not a graham cracker fan? Biscuits or Oreo crumbs will do the trick just fine!
