ingredients

Crust:

  • 1 box Cascadian Farm Cinnamon Crunch Cereal, plus more for garnishing
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, grounded
  • 1 stick plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • Pinch of salt

ingredients

Filling:

  • 2 8 ounce package full fat cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

ingredients

Frosting:

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup confectioner’s sugar, sifted
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

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

    Add confectioners sugar, salt, and beat on low until incorporated. Then turn the speed to high. Add vanilla and heavy cream. Continue beating until fluffy, about 2 minutes.

  • 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.
