Equipment

  • 1 9x13 inch baking pan
  • 2 mixing bowls
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 set measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 parchment paper (optional)
  • 1 small saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated cinnamon rolls
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line with parchment paper for easier removal.
  • In a small bowl, mix the light brown sugar and ground cinnamon together. Set aside.
  • Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and separate them. Cut each roll into quarters and place them in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the melted butter over the cinnamon roll pieces and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top. Gently toss to coat.
  • Layer half of the cinnamon roll mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking pan, pressing down slightly to form the base.
  • In another mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Beat until well combined and creamy.
  • Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cinnamon roll base in the baking pan. Spread it evenly with a rubber spatula.
  • Top the cheesecake layer with the remaining cinnamon roll mixture. Gently press the pieces into the cheesecake layer.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle. The top should be lightly golden.
  • Once baked, let the bars cool in the pan at room temperature for about 20 minutes before transferring to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.
  • To prepare the topping, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle it over the chilled bars.
  • Cut the cheesecake into 12 bars, serve, and enjoy!

Notes
