Method
To make the crust:
Step 1
Using a food processor, pour Cinnamon Crunch Cereal and pulse a few times to get crumbled texture. Add to a medium size bowl along with graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and salt.
Step 2
In a small microwave safe bowl, melt butter. Add to cereal mixture using a rubber spatula mix until well combined.
Step 3
Pour crumb mixture into a 9-inch springform pan. Using a 1 cup measuring cup, press crumb in the pan, making sure to spread crumbs upwards to about 1 1/2 to 2 inches up side. Chill crust in freezer for at least 20 minutes.
To make the filling:
Step 1
As the crust sets, start the filling; using an electric mixer set at medium-high speed, beat cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Pour and beat in the condensed milk, scraping sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, as needed.
Step 3
Beat in lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla until well combined.
Step 4
Remove crust from freezer and pour in filling. Using the back of a clean rubber spatula or offset spatula, smooth batter into corners. Cover cheesecake with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
To make the frosting:
Step 1
Cream butter with a hand mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, until smooth and creamy.
Step 2

Step 3
Add to a piping bag with a star tip. Add rosette design along sides in a circle pattern.
Step 4
Garnish with Cascadian Farm Cinnamon Crunch Cereal before serving.
