Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake

Creamy cinnamon cheesecake with a rich variety of mini chocolate chips.
Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 25 minutes
Servings: 12 slices

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp butter melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and press the buttered graham crumbs into a springform pan.
  2. Beat the cream cheese and sugar smooth, then add the eggs and vanilla.
  3. Toss the chocolate chips with a little flour and fold them into the batter so they suspend evenly.
  4. Swirl the cinnamon and brown sugar through the top.
  5. Pour into the crust and bake 60 minutes until just set.
  6. Cool, then chill overnight until firm enough to slice cleanly.

Notes

Tossing the chips in flour keeps them from sinking to the bottom.
