Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • 1/4 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  3. In a medium-sized bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar.
  4. Add the melted unsalted butter to the mixture and stir until the crumbs are evenly coated.
  5. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form a crust.
  6. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and set it aside to cool.
  7. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  8. Add the sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, and continue beating until fully combined.
  9. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
  10. Mix in the sour cream and heavy cream, beating until the batter is smooth and creamy.
  11. Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled graham cracker crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  12. In a separate small bowl, combine brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
  13. Add the flour to the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture, and stir to combine.
  14. Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the cinnamon-sugar-flour mixture, mixing until crumbly.
  15. Stir in the chopped pecans (if using) to the topping mixture.
  16. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar topping evenly over the surface of the cheesecake batter.
  17. Drizzle the honey over the topping mixture in a swirl pattern.
  18. Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggles when gently shaken.
  19. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
  20. After 1 hour, remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature.
  21. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to fully set and chill.
  22. Before serving, run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake to loosen it from the sides of the pan.
  23. Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan and transfer the cheesecake to a serving platter.
  24. Slice the cheesecake and enjoy the delicious honey bun flavor!
